Chhand, Under Doha 26 · Aranya Kand
Chhand Text
निज परम प्रीतम देखि लोचन सुफल करि सुख पाइहौं। श्री सहित अनुज समेत कृपानिकेत पद मन लाइहौं॥ निर्बान दायक क्रोध जा कर भगति अबसहि बसकरी। निज पानि सर संधानि सो मोहि बधिहि सुखसागर हरी॥
Transliteration (IAST)
nija parama prītama dekhi locana suphala kari sukha pāihauṃ। śrī sahita anuja sameta kṛpāniketa pada mana lāihauṃ॥ nirbāna dāyaka krodha jā kara bhagati abasahi basakarī। nija pāni sara sandhāni so mohi badhih i sukhasāgara harī॥
Meaning
[He thought to himself:] 'Seeing my dearest beloved, I shall make my eyes fruitful and attain bliss. With Sita and with Lakshmana, I shall place my mind on the feet of the abode of mercy, Sri Rama. He whose anger grants liberation, and whose devotion subdues even the unconquerable, ah! that ocean of bliss, Sri Hari, will string his arrow with his own hand and kill me!'
