ദോഹാ
സിയ സുമന്ത്ര ഭ്രാതാ സഹിത കന്ദ മൂല ഫല ഖാഇ ।
സയന കീൻഹ രഘുബംസമനി പായ പലോടത ഭാഇ । 89 ।
Having partaken of the bulbs, roots and fruits along with Sita, Sumantra and His brother (Lakshmana), the Jewel of Raghu’s race lay down to sleep, while His brother kneaded His feet. (89)
ചൗപാഈ
ഉഠേ ലഖനു പ്രഭു സോവത ജാനീ । കഹി സചിവഹി സോവന മൃദു ബാനീ ।
കഛുക ദൂരി സജി ബാന സരാസന । ജാഗന ലഗേ ബൈഠി ബീരാസന । 1 ।
ഗുഹഁ ബോലാഇ പാഹരൂ പ്രതീതീ । ഠാവഁ ഠാവഁ രാഖേ അതി പ്രീതീ ।
ആപു ലഖന പഹിം ബൈഠേഉ ജാഈ । കടി ഭാഥീ സര ചാപ ചഢാഈ । 2 ।
സോവത പ്രഭുഹി നിഹാരി നിഷാദൂ । ഭയഉ പ്രേമ ബസ ഹൃദയഁ ബിഷാദൂ ।
തനു പുലകിത ജലു ലോചന ബഹഈ । ബചന സപ്രേമ ലഖന സന കഹഈ । 3 ।
ഭൂപതി ഭവന സുഭായഁ സുഹാവാ । സുരപതി സദനു ന പടതര പാവാ ।
മനിമയ രചിത ചാരു ചൗബാരേ । ജനു രതിപതി നിജ ഹാഥ സംവാരേ । 4 ।
When Lakshmana perceived that his lord had fallen asleep, he rose and asked the minister in soft accents to retire. As for himself he got ready his bow and arrows and sitting at some distance in the posture of a hero he kept watch. Guha called his trusted watchmen and stationed them at different points with great love; while he himself went and took his seat beside Lakshmana with a quiver fastened to his waist and an arrow fitted to his bow. When the NiShada chief saw his lord lying (on a bed of grass and leaves) he felt great sorrow in his heart due to excess of love; the hair on his body bristled, tears flowed from his eyes and he addressed the following affectionate words to Lakshmana: `The king’s palace is naturally charming; even Indra’s residence can hardly stand comparison with it. Its beautiful antics are built of precious gems and are so lovely as though the god of love has constructed them with his own hands.’ (1-4)

പലഁഗ ഗ മഞ്ജു മനിദീപ ജഹഁ സബ ബിധി സകല സുപാസ । 90 ।
`Free from impurities, exceedingly marvelous of design, abounding in exquisite luxuries and scented with the fragrance of flowers, they are furnished with lovely beds and lighted with gems and are full of amenities of every description.’ (90)
ചൗപാഈ
ബിബിധ ബസന ഉപധാന തുരാഈം । ഛീര ഫേന മൃദു ബിസദ സുഹാഈം ।

രാമചന്ദു പതി സോ ബൈദേഹീ । സോവത മഹി ബിധി ബാമ ന കേഹീ ।
സിയ രഘുബീര കി കാനന ജോഗൂ । കരമ പ്രധാന സത്യ കഹ ലോഗൂ । 4 ।
Again they are equipped with coverlets and sheets, pillows and cushions of various kinds-all soft, white and charming as the froth of milk. It is in such attics that Sita and Rama used to sleep at night and humbled by their beauty the pride of Rati and her consort, the god of love. Those very Sita and Rama are now lying on a pallet, exhausted and uncovered, a sight one cannot bear to see. The same Lord Rama whom his father and mother, his own family and the people of the city, his good-natured companions, men- servants and maid-servants, all cherished as their own life, sleeps on the ground! Nay, Sita, whose father Janaka is famed throughout the world, whose father-in-law is King Dasharatha, the chief of Raghu’s and an ally of Indra (the lord of immortals) and whose spouse is Ramacandra, is lying on the ground! An adverse fate spares none. Do Sita and the Hero of Raghu’s race deserve to be exiled to the woods? They rightly say: `Fate is supreme.’ (1-4)

ജേഹിം രഘുനന്ദന ജാനകിഹി സുഖ അവസര ദുഖു ദീൻഹ । 91 ।
`The foolish daughter of Kekaya has wrought cruel mischief in that she has brought trouble on Sita and the Delighter of Raghu’s race at a time of enjoyment.’ (91)
ചൗപാഈ
ഭഇ ദിനകര കുല ബിടപ കുഠാരീ । കുമതി കീൻഹ സബ ബിസ്വ ദുഖാരീ ।

`The wicked woman has played the axe in felling the tree of the solar race and plunged the whole universe in woe.’ The Nishada chief was sore distressed to see Rama and Sita sleeping on the ground. Lakshmana spoke to him sweet and gentle words imbued with the nectar of wisdom, dispassion and devotion: ‘No one is a source of delight or pain to another; everyone reaps the fruit of one’s own actions, brother. Union and separation, pleasurable and painful experiences, friends, foes and neutrals-snares of delusion are these. Even so birth and death, prosperity and adversity, destiny and time and all the illusion of the world; lands, houses, wealth, town and family, heaven and hell, and all the phenomena of the world; nay, whatever is seen, heard or thought of with the mind has its root in ignorance: nothing exists in reality.’ (1-4)

ജാഗേം ലാഭു ന ഹാനി കഛു തിമി പ്രപഞ്ച ജിയഁ ജോഇ । 92 ।
`Suppose in a dream a king becomes a pauper and a pauper becomes the lord of paradise; on waking, the one does not gain nor does the other lose anything. So must you look upon this world.’ (92)
ചൗപാഈ
അസ ബിചാരി നഹിം കീജിഅ രോസൂ । കാഹുഹി ബാദി ന ദേഇഅ ദോസൂ ।

രാമ ബ്രഹ്മ പരമാരഥ രൂപാ । അബിഗത അലഖ അനാദി അനൂപാ ।
സകല ബികാര രഹിത ഗതഭേദാ । കഹി നിത നേതി നിരൂപഹിം ബേദാ । 4 ।
`Reasoning thus be not angry nor blame anyone in vain. Everyone is slumbering in the night of delusion, and while asleep one sees dreams of various kinds. In this night of mundane existence, it is Yogis (mystics) alone who keep awake-Yogis who are in quest of the highest truth and remain aloof from the world. A soul should be deemed as having awoken from the night of the world only when he develops and aversion for the enjoyments of the world of sense. It is only when the right understanding comes that the error of delusion disappears and then alone one develops a love for the feet of Shri Rama (the Lord of Raghu’s). O friend, the highest spiritual goal is this: to be devoted to the feet of Shri Rama in thought, word and deed. Shri Rama is no other than Brahma (God), the supreme Reality, unknown, imperceptible, beginningless, incomparable, free from all change and beyond all diversity. The Vedas ever speak of Him in negative terms (not this).’ (1-4)

`For the sake of His devotees, Earth, the Brahmanas, cows and gods, the gracious Lord takes the form of a man and performs actions by hearing of which the snares of the world are broken asunder.’ (93)
ചൗപാഈ
സഖാ സമുഝി അസ പരിഹരി മോഹൂ । സിയ രഘുബീര ചരന രത ഹോഹൂ ।

`Realizing this, O friend, shed all infatuation and be devoted to the feet of Sita and the Hero of Raghu’s race.’
