फिरत नारि-नर अति पछि ताहीं । देअहि, दोष देहिँ मन माहीं ॥
सहित बिषाद परसपर कहहीं । बिधि करतब उलटे सब अहहीँ ॥
phirata nāri-nara ati pachi tāhīṃ | deahi, doṣa dehim̐ mana māhīṃ ||
sahita biṣāda parasapara kahahīṃ | bidhi karataba ulaṭe saba ahahīm̐ ||

What happens in this chapter
Returning villagers blame the Creator
Turning back, the people blame fate and say to each other that all the Creator's doings are upside down. He is wholly unchecked, cruel and fearless, the one who gave the moon disease and a stain, made the kalpavriksha a tree and the ocean salty, and now has sent these princes to the forest. If he gave them exile, he made luxuries for nothing. If they walk the roads without sandals, his many kinds of carriages were made in vain. If they sleep on the ground on kusha and leaves, why does he make fine beds? If these handsome, tender youths wear munis' bark and matted hair, the Maker fashioned all ornaments and garments in vain.
निपट निरङ्कुस निठुर निसंकू । जेहिं ससि कीन्ह सरुज सकलंकू ॥
रूख-कलपतरु सागर खारा । तेहिं पठये बन राजकुमारा ॥
nipaṭa niraṅkusa niṭhura nisaṃkū | jehiṃ sasi kīnha saruja sakalaṃkū ||
rūkha-kalapataru sāgara khārā | tehiṃ paṭhaye bana rājakumārā ||
जौं पै इन्हहिँ दीन्ह बनबासू । कीन्हि बादि बिधि भोग-बिलासू ॥
ये बिचरहिँ मग बिनु पदत्राना । रचे बादि बिधि बाहन नाना ॥
jauṃ pai inhahim̐ dīnha banabāsū | kīnhi bādi bidhi bhoga-bilāsū ||
ye bicarahim̐ maga binu padatrānā | race bādi bidhi bāhana nānā ||
ये महि परहिँ डासि कुस पाता । सुभग-सेज कत सृजत बिधाता ॥
तरुबर-बास इन्हहिँ बिधि दीन्हा । धवल-धाम रचि रचि श्रमु कीन्हा ॥
ye mahi parahim̐ ḍāsi kusa pātā | subhaga-seja kata sṛjata bidhātā ||
tarubara-bāsa inhahim̐ bidhi dīnhā | dhavala-dhāma raci raci śramu kīnhā ||
जी ये मुनि-पट-धर जटिल, सुन्दर सुठि सुकुमार ।
बिबिध भाँति भूषन बसन, बादि किये करतार ॥
jī ye muni-paṭa-dhara jaṭila, sundara suṭhi sukumāra |
bibidha bhām̐ti bhūṣana basana, bādi kiye karatāra ||
