बिबिध बसन उपधान तुराई । छीर-फेन मृदु बिसद सुहाई ॥
तहँ सिय राम सयन निसि करहीं । निज छबि रति-मनोज मद हरहीं ॥
bibidha basana upadhāna turāī | chīra-phena mṛdu bisada suhāī ||
taham̐ siya rāma sayana nisi karahīṃ | nija chabi rati-manoja mada harahīṃ ||

What happens in this chapter
Guha grieves to see them on the ground
Guha goes on: in that palace, on quilts soft and white as milk foam, Sita and Rama sleep, their beauty humbling Rati and Kamadeva. Now they sleep on a litter of grass, tired and uncovered, a sight too painful to see. Parents, kin, citizens, friends and servants guard them like their own life, and that Lord lies on the bare earth. Sita's father is Janaka, famed in the world; her father-in-law is the king of the Raghus, friend of Indra; her husband is Ramachandra. Yet Vaidehi sleeps on the ground. Whom does fate not turn against? People rightly say karma rules. Dull-witted Kaikeyi has done a hard, crooked deed, giving sorrow at a time of joy.
ते सिय-राम साथरीं सोये । श्रमित बसन बिनु जाहिँ न जोए ॥
मातु पिता परिजन पुरबासी । सखा सुसील दास अरु दासी ॥
te siya-rāma sātharīṃ soye | śramita basana binu jāhim̐ na joe ||
mātu pitā parijana purabāsī | sakhā susīla dāsa aru dāsī ||
जोगवहिँ जिन्हहिँ प्रान की नाई । महि सोवत तेइ राम गोसाँई ॥
पिता जनक जग बिदित प्रभाऊ । ससुर सुरेस-सखा रघुराऊ ॥
jogavahim̐ jinhahim̐ prāna kī nāī | mahi sovata tei rāma gosām̐ī ||
pitā janaka jaga bidita prabhāū | sasura suresa-sakhā raghurāū ||
रामचन्द्र पति सो बैदेही । सोवत महि बिधि बाम न केही ॥
सिय-रघुबीर कि कानन जोगू । करम-प्रधान सत्य कह लोगू ॥
rāmacandra pati so baidehī | sovata mahi bidhi bāma na kehī ||
siya-raghubīra ki kānana jogū | karama-pradhāna satya kaha logū ||
कैकय-नन्दिनि मन्द-मति, कठिन कुटिल-पन कीन्ह ।
जेहि रघुनन्दन जानकिहि, सुख अवसर दुख दीन्ह ॥
kaikaya-nandini manda-mati, kaṭhina kuṭila-pana kīnha |
jehi raghunandana jānakihi, sukha avasara dukha dīnha ||
