Saying this, Sita is overcome; she cannot bear even the words of separation. Seeing her state, Shri Rama understands that if he keeps her back by force she will not live. The merciful lord of the Solar line says: give up your grief and come with me to the forest; this is no time for sorrow, so make ready quickly. He then touches his mother's feet for her blessing. Come back soon and end the people's sorrow, she says, and do not forget your hard-hearted mother. When will that blessed day and hour come, son, when your mother, still alive, looks on your moonlike face, calls you my darling, draws you to her heart and gazes on you with joy?
अस कहि सीय बिकल भइ भारी । बचन बियोग न सकी सँभारी ॥
देखि दसा रघुपति जियँ जाना । हठि राखें नहिँ राखिहि प्राना ॥
asa kahi sīya bikala bhai bhārī | bacana biyoga na sakī sam̐bhārī ||
dekhi dasā raghupati jiyam̐ jānā | haṭhi rākheṃ nahim̐ rākhihi prānā ||
कहेउ कृपाल भानुकुल नाथा । परिहरि सोच चलहु बन साथा ॥
नहिँ बिषाद कर अवसर आजू । बेगि करहु बन-गवन समाजू ॥
kaheu kṛpāla bhānukula nāthā | parihari soca calahu bana sāthā ||
nahim̐ biṣāda kara avasara ājū | begi karahu bana-gavana samājū ||
कहि प्रिय-बचन प्रिया समुझाई । लगे मातु-पद आसिष पाई ॥
बेगि प्रजा-दुख मेटब आई । जननी निठुर बिसरि जनि जाई ॥
kahi priya-bacana priyā samujhāī | lage mātu-pada āsiṣa pāī ||
begi prajā-dukha meṭaba āī | jananī niṭhura bisari jani jāī ||
फिरहि दसा बिधि बहुरि कि मोरी । देखिहउँ नयन मनोहर जोरी ॥
सुदिन सुघरी तात का होइहि । जननी जिअत बदन-बिधु जोइहि ॥
phirahi dasā bidhi bahuri ki morī | dekhihaum̐ nayana manohara jorī ||
sudina sugharī tāta kā hoihi | jananī jiata badana-bidhu joihi ||
बहुरि बच्छ कहि लाल कहि, रघुपति रघुबर तात ।
कबहिं बोलाइ लगाइ हियँ, हरषि निरखिहउँ गात ॥
bahuri baccha kahi lāla kahi, raghupati raghubara tāta |
kabahiṃ bolāi lagāi hiyam̐, haraṣi nirakhihaum̐ gāta ||
