नित नव सोच सतीं उर भारा । कब जैहउँ दुख-सागर पारा ॥
मैं जो कीन्ह रघुपति अपमाना । पुनि पति-वचन मृषा करि जाना ॥
nita nava soca satīṃ ura bhārā | kaba jaihaum̐ dukha-sāgara pārā ||
maiṃ jo kīnha raghupati apamānā | puni pati-vacana mṛṣā kari jānā ||

What happens in this chapter
Sati prays to Rama for release
Each day brings Sati new grief: when will I cross this sea of sorrow? I insulted Raghupati and took my husband's word as false, and the Creator has given me the fitting fruit. But it is not right, Creator, to keep me alive while Shankar is turned away from me. Her shame cannot be spoken. Wise as she is, she remembers Rama: if the Lord is called kind to the humble, I pray with folded hands that this body may soon fall away. If I love Shiva's feet in mind, deed and word, then, says the doha, hear me, all-seeing Lord, and let death come without effort and end this unbearable trouble.
सो फल मोहि बिधाताँ दीन्हा । जो कछु उचित रहा सोइ कीन्हा ॥
अब बिधि अस बूझिअ नहिँ तोही । सङ्कर-बिमुख जिआवसि मोही ॥
so phala mohi bidhātām̐ dīnhā | jo kachu ucita rahā soi kīnhā ||
aba bidhi asa būjhia nahim̐ tohī | saṅkara-bimukha jiāvasi mohī ||
कहि न जाई कछु हृदय गलानी । मन महँ रामहिँ सुमिरि सयानी ॥
जौँ प्रभु दीनदयाल कहावा । आरति-हरन बेद जस गावा ॥
kahi na jāī kachu hṛdaya galānī | mana maham̐ rāmahim̐ sumiri sayānī ||
jaum̐ prabhu dīnadayāla kahāvā | ārati-harana beda jasa gāvā ||
तो मैं बिनय करउँ कर जोरी । छूटउ बेगि देह यह मोरी ॥
जौँ मेरे सिव-चरन सनेहू । मन क्रम बचन सत्य व्रत एहू ॥
to maiṃ binaya karaum̐ kara jorī | chūṭau begi deha yaha morī ||
jaum̐ mere siva-carana sanehū | mana krama bacana satya vrata ehū ||
तौ सबदरसी सुनिय प्रभु, करउ सो बेगि उपाइ ।
होइ मरन जेहि बिनहिँ स्रम, दुसह बिपत्ति बिहाइ ॥
tau sabadarasī suniya prabhu, karau so begi upāi |
hoi marana jehi binahim̐ srama, dusaha bipatti bihāi ||
