Doha 19c
Account of Śrī Rāma’s Reign
भरत अनुज सौमित्रि समेता। पठवन चले भगत कृत चेता॥ अंगद हृदयँ प्रेम नहिं थोरा। फिरि फिरि चितव राम कीं ओरा॥१॥
बार बार कर दंड प्रनामा। मन अस रहन कहहिं मोहि रामा॥ राम बिलोकनि बोलनि चलनी। सुमिरि सुमिरि सोचत हँसि मिलनी॥२॥
प्रभु रुख देखि बिनय बहु भाषी। चलेउ हृदयँ पद पंकज राखी॥ अति आदर सब कपि पहुँचाए। भाइन्ह सहित भरत पुनि आए॥३॥
तब सुग्रीव चरन गहि नाना। भाँति बिनय कीन्हे हनुमाना॥ दिन दस करि रघुपति पद सेवा। पुनि तव चरन देखिहउँ देवा॥४॥
पुन्य पुंज तुम्ह पवनकुमारा। सेवहु जाइ कृपा आगारा॥ अस कहि कपि सब चले तुरंता। अंगद कहइ सुनहु हनुमंता॥५॥
Meaning
Conscious of the devotees’ services, Bharata as well as his younger brothers, Śatrughna and Lakṣmaṇa, proceeded to see them off. Aṅgada’s heart was so full of love that he would turn again and again to have one more look at Śrī Rāma. (1) He would repeatedly prostrate himself on the ground in the expectation that Śrī Rāma might ask him to stay on. He became sad as he recalled the characteristic way in which Śrī Rāma looked, talked, walked and smilingly greeted others. (2) But when he perceived in the Lord’s look what was in His mind, he departed with many a prayer, enshrining His lotus-feet in his heart. Having seen all the monkeys off with utmost respect, Bharata and his younger brothers returned. (3) Then Hanumān (who had evidently accompanied his master to see him off) clasped the feet of Sugrīva and sought his favour in many ways: “After spending a few more days in the service of Śrī Raghunātha, if you please, I will see your feet again, my master.” (4) “A repository of merit as you are, O son of the wind-god, you go and serve the All-merciful Śrī Rāma.” So saying, all the monkeys forthwith departed. Aṅgada, however, tarried to say, “Listen, Hanumān, (5)
कहेहु दंडवत प्रभु सैं तुम्हहि कहउँ कर जोरि। बार बार रघुनायकहि सुरति कराएहु मोरि॥१९(क)॥
अस कहि चलेउ बालिसुत फिरि आयउ हनुमंत। तासु प्रीति प्रभु सन कही मगन भए भगवंत॥१९(ख)॥
कुलिसहु चाहि कठोर अति कोमल कुसुमहु चाहि। चित्त खगेस राम कर समुझि परइ कहु काहि॥१९(ग)॥
Meaning
“with folded hands I beseech you, please convey my prostrations to the Lord and remember me to Śrī Raghunātha from time to time.” (19 A) So saying, Bāli’s son, Aṅgada, started on his journey; while Hanumān came back and told the Lord of Aṅgada’s love, which filled the Lord with ecstatic delight. (19 B) Far harder than adamant and softer than a flower is the heart of Śrī Rāma, O king of the birds (continues Kākabhuśuṇḍi): tell me, who can comprehend it? (19 C)
