जेहि बिधि अवध आव फिरि सीया। सोइ रघुबरहि तुम्हहि करनीया॥ नतरु निपट अवलंब बिहीना। मैं न जिअब जिमि जल बिनु मीना॥ ४ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
jehi bidhi avadha āva phiri sīyā। soi raghubarahi tumhahi karanīyā॥ nataru nipaṭa avalaṃba bihīnā। maiṃ na jiaba jimi jala binu mīnā॥ 4 ॥
Meaning
Therefore, whatever must be done so that Sita may return to Ayodhya, that alone should be done by you and by Lord Rama. Otherwise, I shall simply not be able to live without support, just as a fish cannot live without water.
