पुरजन परिजन सकल निहोरी । तात सुनाएहु बिनती मोरी ॥
सोइ सब भाँति मोर हितकारी । जा तें रह नरनाह सुखारी ॥
purajana parijana sakala nihorī | tāta sunāehu binatī morī ||
soi saba bhām̐ti mora hitakārī | jā teṃ raha naranāha sukhārī ||

Messages for Bharata, and Sita falls silent
Shri Rama's message goes on, as Sumantra reports it. Entreat all the townsfolk and kin: whoever keeps the king happy is my true well-wisher. When Bharata comes, tell him not to abandon right conduct on gaining the throne; to protect the people in deed, mind and word, serve all the mothers as equal, and keep up brotherly love, serving father, mother and kin; and to care for the king so he never grieves for me. Lakshmana spoke some harsh words; Shri Rama checked him and begged me, making me swear again and again, not to repeat the boy's outburst. In the doha Sita, sending her pranams, began to speak but was overcome with love; her words failed, her eyes filled and her body thrilled.
कहब सँदेस भरत के आये । नीति न तजिय राज-पद पाये ॥
पालेहु प्रजहि करम मन बानी । सेएहु मातु सकल सम जानी ॥
kahaba sam̐desa bharata ke āye | nīti na tajiya rāja-pada pāye ||
pālehu prajahi karama mana bānī | seehu mātu sakala sama jānī ||
अउर निबाहेहु भायप आई । करि पितु-मातु सुजन, सेवकाई ॥
तात भाँति, तेहि राखब राऊ । सोच मोर जेहिं करइ न काऊ ॥
aura nibāhehu bhāyapa āī | kari pitu-mātu sujana, sevakāī ||
tāta bhām̐ti, tehi rākhaba rāū | soca mora jehiṃ karai na kāū ||
लखन कहे कछु बचन कठोरा । बरजि राम पुनि मोहि निहोरा ॥
बार बार निज सपथ देवाई । कहबि न तात लखन-लरिकाई ॥
lakhana kahe kachu bacana kaṭhorā | baraji rāma puni mohi nihorā ||
bāra bāra nija sapatha devāī | kahabi na tāta lakhana-larikāī ||
कहि प्रनाम कछु कहन लिय, सिय भइ सिथिल सनेह ।
थकित-बचन लोचन-सजल, पुलक-पल्लवित-देह ॥
kahi pranāma kachu kahana liya, siya bhai sithila saneha |
thakita-bacana locana-sajala, pulaka-pallavita-deha ||
