Doha 42
अस कहि चला बिभीषनु जबहीं। आयूहीन भए सब तबहीं॥ साधु अवग्या तुरत भवानी। कर कल्यान अखिल कै हानी॥१॥
रावन जबहिं बिभीषन त्यागा। भयउ बिभव बिनु तबहिं अभागा॥ चलेउ हरषि रघुनायक पाहीं। करत मनोरथ बहु मन माहीं॥२॥
देखिहउँ जाइ चरन जलजाता। अरुन मृदुल सेवक सुखदाता॥ जे पद परसि तरी रिषिनारी। दंडक कानन पावनकारी॥३॥
जे पद जनकसुताँ उर लाए। कपट कुरंग संग धर धाए॥ हर उर सर सरोज पद जेई। अहोभाग्य मैं देखिहउँ तेई॥४॥
Meaning
No sooner had Vibhīṣaṇa left with these words than the doom of all the demons was sealed. ‘Disrespect to a saint, O Pārvatī, immediately robs one of all blessings.’ (1) The moment Rāvaṇa abandoned Vibhīṣaṇa, the wretch lost all his glory. Joyously and with noble ambitions in his heart, Vibhīṣaṇa proceeded to Śrī Raghunātha cherishing many noble ambitions in his heart. (2) “On reaching there I will behold those lotus-feet with ruddy soles, so soft and so delightful to the devotees. Nay, I will behold those feet whose very touch redeemed Ṛṣi Gautama’s wife, Ahalyā; that hallowed the Daṇḍaka forest; (3) “that Jānakī has enthroned in Her heart, that chased the delusive deer and that dwell as a pair of lotuses in the lake of Śiva’s heart. I am really blessed that I am going to see those very feet. (4)
जिन्ह पायन्ह के पादुकन्हि भरतु रहे मन लाइ। ते पद आजु बिलोकिहउँ इन्ह नयनन्हि अब जाइ॥४२॥
Meaning
“I will go today and presently behold with these eyes of mine those very feet in whose wooden sandals Bharata’s mind remains absorbed!” (42)
