Doha 118c
Śrī Rāma and Sītā leave for Ayodhyā by the aerial car, Puṣpaka
भालु कपिन्ह पट भूषन पाए। पहिरि पहिरि रघुपति पहिं आए॥ नाना जिनस देखि सब कीसा। पुनि पुनि हँसत कोसलाधीसा॥१॥
चितइ सबन्हि पर कीन्ही दाया। बोले मृदुल बचन रघुराया॥ तुम्हरें बल मैं रावनु मार्यो। तिलक बिभीषन कहँ पुनि सार्यो॥२॥
निज निज गृह अब तुम्ह सब जाहू। सुमिरेहु मोहि डरपहु जनि काहू॥ सुनत बचन प्रेमाकुल बानर। जोरि पानि बोले सब सादर॥३॥
प्रभु जोइ कहहु तुम्हहि सब सोहा। हमरें होत बचन सुनि मोहा॥ दीन जानि कपि किए सनाथा। तुम्ह त्रैलोक ईस रघुनाथा॥४॥
सुनि प्रभु बचन लाज हम मरहीं। मसक कहूँ खगपति हित करहीं॥ देखि राम रुख बानर रीछा। प्रेम मगन नहिं गृह कै ईछा॥५॥
Meaning
Having thus secured raiment and jewels, the bears and monkeys adorned their person with the same and appeared before Śrī Raghunātha. The Lord of Kosala laughed again and again to see all the monkeys, a motley host indeed. (1) Śrī Raghunātha showered His grace on all by casting a benign look at them, and spoke to them in endearing terms: “It was by virtue of your valour that I killed Rāvaṇa and then crowned Vibhīṣaṇa. (2) “Now go home, all of you; do keep remembering Me and fear no one.” The monkeys were all overcome with emotions to hear these words and reverently replied with folded hands: (3) “O Lord, whatever You say becomes You well. But we get mystified on hearing Your words. You are the Sovereign of all the three spheres, O Śrī Raghunātha; knowing our humble state You took us under Your protection. (4) “But we are overwhelmed with shyness to hear such words from the lips of our Master (Yourself). Can a swarm of mosquitoes ever help Garuḍa (the king of the birds)?” The bears and monkeys were overcome with emotions when they saw what was in the mind of the Lord, (viz., His reluctance to take them to Ayodhyā); they had no inclination to return home. (5)
प्रभु प्रेरित कपि भालु सब राम रूप उर राखि। हरष बिषाद सहित चले बिनय बिबिध बिधि भाषि॥११८(क)॥
कपिपति नील रीछपति अंगद नल हनुमान। सहित बिभीषन अपर जे जूथप कपि बलवान॥११८(ख)॥
कहि न सकहिं कछु प्रेम बस भरि भरि लोचन बारि। सन्मुख चितवहिं राम तन नयन निमेष निवारि॥११८(ग)॥
Meaning
But in obedience to the Lord’s command the monkeys and bears all dispersed with a mixed feeling of joy and sorrow and with many a humble submission, enshrining Śrī Rāma’s image in their heart. (118 A) The monkey-king Sugrīva, Nīla, Jāmbavān (the lord of the bears), Aṅgada, Nala, Hanumān and all the other mighty generals of the monkey host, together with Vibhīṣaṇa, (118 B) were too overwhelmed with emotion to utter a word. With eyes full of tears they stood facing Śrī Rāma and gazing intently on Him. (118 C)
