Doha 338
सुक सारिका जानकी ज्याए। कनक पिंजरन्हि राखि पढ़ाए॥ ब्याकुल कहहिं कहाँ बैदेही। सुनि धीरजु परिहरइ न केही॥१॥
भए बिकल खग मृग एहि भाँती। मनुज दसा कैसें कहि जाती॥ बंधु समेत जनकु तब आए। प्रेम उमगि लोचन जल छाए॥२॥
सीय बिलोकि धीरता भागी। रहे कहावत परम बिरागी॥ लीन्हि रायँ उर लाइ जानकी। मिटी महामरजाद ग्यान की॥३॥
समुझावत सब सचिव सयाने। कीन्ह बिचारु न अवसर जाने॥ बारहिं बार सुता उर लाईं। सजि सुंदर पालकीं मगाईं॥४॥
Meaning
The parrots and mainas that had been reared by Princess Jānakī and kept in cages of gold and had been taught to speak, cried in distress, “Where is Vaidehī?” On hearing their wail who would have the heart to stand the sight? (1) When birds and beasts were distressed in this way, how can one depict the feelings of the human heart. Then came King Janaka with his younger brother (Kuśadhvaja); due to excess of emotion tears rushed to his eyes. (2) Although he was reputed to be a man of supreme dispassion, his strength of mind took leave of him the moment he gazed on Sītā. The king clasped Jānakī to his bosom and the great embankment of dispassionate wisdom toppled down. (3) All his wise counsellors admonished him; and realizing that it was no occasion for expressing sorrow, the king recovered himself. Again and again he pressed all the daughters to his bosom and ordered beautiful and well-equipped palanquins to be brought. (4)
प्रेमबिबस परिवारु सबु जानि सुलगन नरेस। कुअँरि चढ़ाईं पालकिन्ह सुमिरे सिद्धि गनेस॥३३८॥
Meaning
The whole family was overwhelmed with emotion; yet, perceiving that the auspicious moment had arrived, the king invoked Lord Gaṇeśa and His consort, Siddhi, and helped the princesses to ascend the palanquins. (338)
