Suni sumantr siy sitali bani

Chaupai 2, Under Doha 99 · Ayodhya Kand

Chaupai Text

सुनि सुमंत्रु सिय सीतलि बानी। भयउ बिकल जनु फनि मनि हानी॥ नयन सूझ नहिं सुनइ न काना। कहि न सकइ कछु अति अकुलाना॥ २ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

suni sumantru siya sītali bānī। bhayau bikala janu phani mani hānī॥ nayana sūjha nahiṃ sunai na kānā। kahi na sakai kachu ati akulānā॥ 2 ॥

Meaning

Hearing Sita's cool, soothing words, Sumantra became distraught, as though a serpent had lost its jewel. He could not see clearly with his eyes, nor hear with his ears. In great anguish, he could say nothing.
