चहत न भरत भूपतहि भोरें । विधि-बस कुमति बसी उर तोरें ॥
सो सब मोर पाप-परिनामू । भयउ कुठाहर जेहिं विधि बामू ॥
cahata na bharata bhūpatahi bhoreṃ | vidhi-basa kumati basī ura toreṃ ||
so saba mora pāpa-parināmū | bhayau kuṭhāhara jehiṃ vidhi bāmū ||

What happens in this chapter
Dasharatha foresees her disgrace and his remorse
Bharata would never wish for the throne even by mistake, says the king; by fate's will an evil mind has settled in your heart. All this is the fruit of my sins, that providence has turned against me at the wrong moment. Ayodhya will flourish again under Rama, his brothers will serve him, and his glory will fill the three worlds. But your stain and my remorse will not fade even after death. Now do what pleases you; sit out of my sight and hide your face. While I live, say nothing more to me. You will repent, wretched one, killing a cow for its sinew. So he lies there pleading. The deceitful woman says nothing, awake like one keeping vigil in a cremation ground.
सुबस बसिहि फिरि अवध सुहाई । सब गुन धाम राम प्रभुताई ॥
करिहहिं भाइ सकल सेवकाई । होइहि तिहुँ पुर राम बड़ाई ॥
subasa basihi phiri avadha suhāī | saba guna dhāma rāma prabhutāī ||
karihahiṃ bhāi sakala sevakāī | hoihi tihum̐ pura rāma bar̤āī ||
तोर कलङ्क मोर पछिताऊ । मुएहुँ न मिटिहि न जाइहि काऊ ॥
अब तोहि नीक लाग करु सोई । लोचन ओट बैठु मुहु गोई ॥
tora kalaṅka mora pachitāū | muehum̐ na miṭihi na jāihi kāū ||
aba tohi nīka lāga karu soī | locana oṭa baiṭhu muhu goī ||
जब लगि जिऔं कहउँ कर जोरी । तब लगि जनि कछु कहसि बहोरी ॥
फिरि पछितैहसि अन्त अभागी । मारसि गाइ नहारु लागी ॥
jaba lagi jiauṃ kahaum̐ kara jorī | taba lagi jani kachu kahasi bahorī ||
phiri pachitaihasi anta abhāgī | mārasi gāi nahāru lāgī ||
परेउ राउ कहि कोटि विधि, काहे करसि निदान ।
कपट सयानि न कहति कछु, जागति मनहुँ मसान ॥
pareu rāu kahi koṭi vidhi, kāhe karasi nidāna |
kapaṭa sayāni na kahati kachu, jāgati manahum̐ masāna ||
