# Uttar Kand · Doha 56

**चौ०** 
> मैं जिमि कथा सुनी भव मोचनि। सो प्रसंग सुनु सुमुखि सुलोचनि॥  
> प्रथम दच्छ गृह तव अवतारा। सती नाम तब रहा तुम्हारा॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> दच्छ जग्य तव भा अपमाना। तुम्ह अति क्रोध तजे तब प्राना॥  
> मम अनुचरन्ह कीन्ह मख भंगा। जानहु तुम्ह सो सकल प्रसंगा॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> तब अति सोच भयउ मन मोरें। दुखी भयउँ बियोग प्रिय तोरें॥  
> सुंदर बन गिरि सरित तड़ागा। कौतुक देखत फिरउँ बेरागा॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> गिरि सुमेर उत्तर दिसि दूरी। नील सैल एक सुंदर भूरी॥  
> तासु कनकमय सिखर सुहाए। चारि चारु मोरे मन भाए॥४॥

**चौ०** 
> तिन्ह पर एक एक बिटप बिसाला। बट पीपर पाकरी रसाला॥  
> सैलोपरि सर सुंदर सोहा। मनि सोपान देखि मन मोहा॥५॥

Meaning: “Listen, O charming and bright-eyed lady, to the circumstances in which I heard this story, that delivers one from the cycle of births and deaths. You first took birth in the house of Dakṣa and Satī was your name. (1)

“At Dakṣa’s sacrifice you were subjected to contumely and feeling intensely indignant you gave up your body there and then. My attendants wrecked the sacrifice: you know the whole episode already. (2)

“I felt much troubled at heart thereafter; for your loss had left me disconsolate, my dear. In a spirit of detachment, I wandered among the charming woodlands, mountains, river banks and tanks seeing sights. (3)

“In the far north, even beyond Mount Sumeru, there stands a most lovely mountain, known by the name of Nīlagiri (the Blue Mountain). It has four charming and delightful golden peaks, which gladdened my soul: (4)

“On each stood one gigantic tree, a banyan, a Peepul (the sacred bo-tree), a Plakṣa (the Indian fig tree) and a mango. On the top of the mountain sparkled a beautiful tarn with jewelled steps, which were so enchanting to behold. (5)

**दो०** 
> सीतल अमल मधुर जल जलज बिपुल बहुरंग।  
> कूजत कल रव हंस गन गुंजत मंजुल भृंग॥५६॥

Meaning: “Its water is cool, limpid and sweet; its lotuses abundant and many coloured. Flocks of swans murmur their sweet notes and the bees make a delightful buzzing sound. (56)
