Chhand Text
अवगाहि सोक समुद्र सोचहिं नारि नर ब्याकुल महा। दै दोष सकल सरोष बोलहिं बाम बिधि कीन्हो कहा॥ सुर सिद्ध तापस जोगिजन मुनि देखि दसा बिदेह की। तुलसी न समरथु कोउ जो तरि सकै सरित सनेह की॥
Transliteration (IAST)
avagāhi soka samudra socahiṃ nāri nara byākula mahā। dai doṣa sakala saroṣa bolahiṃ bāma bidhi kīnho kahā॥ sura siddha tāpasa jogijana muni dekhi dasā bideha kī। tulasī na samarthu kou jo tari sakai sarita saneha kī॥
Meaning
Plunging into the ocean of sorrow, all men and women were greatly distressed and lost in grief. Blaming fate, they angrily said, “What has this adverse destiny done?” Tulsidas says that even gods, perfected beings, ascetics, yogis, and sages were not capable of crossing the river of love upon seeing the state of Videha (King Janaka).
