# Sunderkand · Doha 15

**चौ०** 
> कहेउ राम बियोग तव सीता। मो कहुँ सकल भए बिपरीता॥  
> नव तरु किसलय मनहुँ कृसानू। कालनिसा सम निसि ससि भानू॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> कुबलय बिपिन कुंतबन सरिसा। बारिद तपत तेल जनु बरिसा॥  
> जे हित रहे करत तेइ पीरा। उरग स्वास सम त्रिबिध समीरा॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> कहेहू तें कछु दुख घटि होई। काहि कहौं यह जान न कोई॥  
> तत्व प्रेम कर मम अरु तोरा। जानत प्रिया एकु मनु मोरा॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> सो मनु सदा रहत तोहि पाहीं। जानु प्रीति रसु एतनेहि माहीं॥  
> प्रभु संदेसु सुनत बैदेही। मगन प्रेम तन सुधि नहिं तेही॥४॥

**चौ०** 
> कह कपि हृदयँ धीर धरु माता। सुमिरु राम सेवक सुखदाता॥  
> उर आनहु रघुपति प्रभुताई। सुनि मम बचन तजहु कदराई॥५॥

Meaning: “Śrī Rāma has said: ‘Ever since I have been separated from you, Sītā, everything to me has become perverse. The fresh and tender leaves on the trees look like tongues of fire; nights appear as dreadful as the night of final dissolution and the moon scorches like the sun. (1)

‘Beds of lotuses are like so many spears planted on the ground, while rain-clouds pour boiling oil, as it were. Those that were friendly before have now become tormenting; the cool, soft and fragrant breezes are now like the breath of a serpent, poisonous and hot. (2)

‘One’s agony is assuaged to some extent even by speaking of it; but to whom shall I speak about it? For there is no one who will understand. The reality about the chord of love that binds you and me, dear, is known to my mind alone. (3)

‘And my mind ever abides in you. Know this to be the essence of my love.’ ” Jānakī was so absorbed in love the moment She heard the Lord’s message that She lost all consciousness of Her body. (4)

Said Hanumān, “Mother, compose Yourself, and fix Your thoughts on Śrī Rāma, the delight of His servants. Reflect on the glory of Śrī Raghunātha and shake off all faint-heartedness upon my word. (5)

**दो०** 
> निसिचर निकर पतंग सम रघुपति बान कृसानु।  
> जननी हृदयँ धीर धरु जरे निसाचर जानु॥१५॥

Meaning: “The hosts of demons are like so many moths, while the shafts of Śrī Raghunātha are like flames. Have courage in Your heart, mother, and take the demons as burnt. (15)
