Sanskrit Original
देखि राम छबि अति अनुरागीं। प्रेमबिबस पुनि पुनि पद लागीं।। रही न लाज प्रीति उर छाई। सहज सनेहु बरनि किमि जाई।। भाइन्ह सहित उबटि अन्हवाए। छरस असन अति हेतु जेवाँए।। बोले रामु सुअवसरु जानी। सील सनेह सकुचमय बानी।। राउ अवधपुर चहत सिधाए। बिदा होन हम इहाँ पठाए।। मातु मुदित मन आयसु देहू। बालक जानि करब नित नेहू।। सुनत बचन बिलखेउ रनिवासू। बोलि न सकहिं प्रेमबस सासू।। हृदयँ लगाइ कुअँरि सब लीन्ही। पतिन्ह सौंपि बिनती अति कीन्ही।।

Greatly moved at the sight of Sri Rama's beauty they affectionately fell at His feet again and again. Their heart being rapt in love, the feeling of shyness had bid them adieu; how could their natural affection for their sons-in-law be described? After rubbing the body of Sri Rama and His brothers with cosmetics they were given a bath and were most lovingly entertained with dishes containing the six flavours. Finding it a suitable opportunity Sri Rama spoke in accents full of amiability, affection and modesty. "Our royal father intends leaving for Ayodhya, and has sent us here to take leave of you.

The ladies of the gynaeceum were distressed to hear these words; the mothers-in-law were too overwhelmed with emotion to speak a word.
