Chaupai 3, Under Doha 199 · Ayodhya Kand
Chaupai Text
श्रीहत सीय बिरहँ दुतिहीना। जथा अवध नर नारि बिलीना॥ पिता जनक देउँ पटतर केही। करतल भोगु जोगु जग जेही॥ ३ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
śrīhata siya birahaṃ dutihīnā। jathā avadha nara nāri bilīnā॥ pitā janaka deūṃ paṭatara kēhī। karatala bhogu jogu jaga jehī॥ 3 ॥
Meaning
Even these specks of gold are becoming bereft of beauty and luster through separation from Sita, just as the men and women of Ayodhya have faded in Rama’s absence. To whose likeness can I compare King Janaka, Sita’s father, whose hands hold both enjoyment and renunciation in this world?
Context
This is Chaupai 3, Under Doha 199 from Ayodhya Kand, in the episode “Bharata Meets Nishadraj”. The episode describes Bharata and Nishadraj's heartfelt meeting and exchange of devotion to Rama.
