Sahaj saral raghubar bachan kumati kutila

Doha 42 · Ayodhya Kand

Doha Text

सहज सरल रघुबर बचन कुमति कुटिल करि जान। चलइ जोंक जल बक्रगति जद्यपि सलिलु समान॥ ४२ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

sahaja sarala raghubara bacana kumati kuṭila kari jāna। calai joṃka jala bakragati jadyapi salilu samāna॥ 42 ॥

Meaning

The straightforward words of Lord Raghu, by nature simple and direct, are being twisted by Kaikeyi’s crooked mind; just as water is the same everywhere, yet a leech moves through it in a crooked path.

Context

This is Doha 42 from Ayodhya Kand, in the episode “Rama Accepts Kaikeyi's Command”. The episode describes Rama calmly accepting Kaikeyi's command of exile and Bharata's coronation with joyful obedience.
