लखि सनेह सुनि बचन विनीता । जनक-प्रिया गहि पाय पुनीता ॥
देबि उचित असि बिनय तुम्हारी । दसरथ-घरिनि राम-महतारी ॥
lakhi saneha suni bacana vinītā | janaka-priyā gahi pāya punītā ||
debi ucita asi binaya tumhārī | dasaratha-gharini rāma-mahatārī ||

Sunaina recalls Yajnavalkya's word on Rama
Janaka's queen clasps Kaushalya's holy feet. Such humility suits you, she says, wife of Dasharatha and mother of Rama. The great honour even the lowly of their own, as fire carries smoke and a mountain bears grass on its head. The king is your servant in deed, mind and speech, and Mahesha and Bhavani are always your helpers. Who in the world is fit to help you? Does the sun need a lamp? Rama will go to the forest, finish the gods' work and then rule Ayodhya unshaken; gods, nagas and men will live happily by his strength. Yajnavalkya foretold all this, and a sage's word is never false. Bowing with love and pleading for Sita, she leaves with Sita, given leave.
प्रभु अपने नीचहु आदरहीं । अगिनि धूम गिरि-सिर-तृन धरहीँ ॥
सेवक राउ करम-मन-बानी । सदा सहाय महेस भवानी ॥
prabhu apane nīcahu ādarahīṃ | agini dhūma giri-sira-tṛna dharahīm̐ ||
sevaka rāu karama-mana-bānī | sadā sahāya mahesa bhavānī ||
रउरे अङ्ग जोग जग को है । दीप सहाय कि दिनकर सोहै ॥
राम जाइ बन करि सुर काजू । अचल अवधपुर करिहहिँ राजू ॥
raure aṅga joga jaga ko hai | dīpa sahāya ki dinakara sohai ||
rāma jāi bana kari sura kājū | acala avadhapura karihahim̐ rājū ||
अमर नाग नर राम-बाहु-बल । सुख बसिहहिं अपनें अपने थल ॥
यह सब जागबलिक कहि राखा । देबि न होइ मुधा मुनि भाखा ॥
amara nāga nara rāma-bāhu-bala | sukha basihahiṃ apaneṃ apane thala ||
yaha saba jāgabalika kahi rākhā | debi na hoi mudhā muni bhākhā ||
अस कहि पग परि पेम अति, सिय हित विनय सुनाइ ।
सिय समेत सिय-मातु तब, चली सुआयसु पाई ॥
asa kahi paga pari pema ati, siya hita vinaya sunāi |
siya sameta siya-mātu taba, calī suāyasu pāī ||
