चलत मोहि चूडामनि दीन्ही । रघुपति हृदयँ लाइ सोइ लीन्ही ॥
नाथ जुगल लोचन भरि बारी । बचन कहे कछु जनक-कुमारी ॥
calata mohi cūḍāmani dīnhī | raghupati hṛdayam̐ lāi soi līnhī ||
nātha jugala locana bhari bārī | bacana kahe kachu janaka-kumārī ||

What happens in this chapter
Sita's message delivered to Rama
Hanuman hands over the crest-jewel and Raghupati takes it to His heart. With tear-filled eyes, Hanuman reports, Janaka's daughter said: Friend of the lowly, I love your feet in thought, word and deed; for what fault have you left me? I know one fault: my life did not leave when we parted. That is my eyes' offence, for they hold my life back. Separation is fire, my body cotton, my breath the wind; it would burn in a moment, but my eyes pour tears and the body cannot burn. Her suffering is better left untold, Hanuman ends; each moment is an age. Come quickly, Lord, conquer the wicked and bring her.
अनुज समेत गहेहु प्रभु चरना । दीन बन्धु प्रनतारति हरना ॥
मन क्रम बचन चरन अनुरागा । केहि अपराध नाथ हैँ त्यागी ॥
anuja sameta gahehu prabhu caranā | dīna bandhu pranatārati haranā ||
mana krama bacana carana anurāgā | kehi aparādha nātha haim̐ tyāgī ||
अवगुन एक मोर मैं जाना । बिछुरत प्रान न कीन्ह पयाना ॥
नाथ सो नयनन्हि कर अपराधा । निसरत प्रान करहिं हठि बाधा ॥
avaguna eka mora maiṃ jānā | bichurata prāna na kīnha payānā ||
nātha so nayananhi kara aparādhā | nisarata prāna karahiṃ haṭhi bādhā ||
बिरह अगिनि तनु तूल समीरा । स्वास जरइ छन माहिँ सरीरा ॥
नयन स्त्रवहि जल निज हित लागी । जरइ न पाव देह बिरहागि ॥
biraha agini tanu tūla samīrā | svāsa jarai chana māhim̐ sarīrā ||
nayana stravahi jala nija hita lāgī | jarai na pāva deha birahāgi ||
सीता कै अति बिपति बिसाला । बिनहिँ कहें भलि दीनदयाला ॥
sītā kai ati bipati bisālā | binahim̐ kaheṃ bhali dīnadayālā ||
निमिष निमिष करुनानिधि, जाहिँ कलप सम बीति ।
बेगि चलिय प्रभु आनिय, भुज बल खल दल जीति ॥
nimiṣa nimiṣa karunānidhi, jāhim̐ kalapa sama bīti |
begi caliya prabhu āniya, bhuja bala khala dala jīti ||
