Sanskrit Original
उतरु न देइ दुसह रिस रूखी। मृगिन्ह चितव जनु बाघिनि भूखी।। ब्याधि असाधि जानि तिन्ह त्यागी। चलीं कहत मतिमंद अभागी।। राजु करत यह दैअँ बिगोई। कीन्हेसि अस जस करइ न कोई।। एहि बिधि बिलपहिं पुर नर नारीं। देहिं कुचालिहि कोटिक गारीं।। जरहिं बिषम जर लेहिं उसासा। कवनि राम बिनु जीवन आसा।। बिपुल बियोग प्रजा अकुलानी। जनु जलचर गन सूखत पानी।। अति बिषाद बस लोग लोगाई। गए मातु पहिं रामु गोसाई।। मुख प्रसन्न चित चौगुन चाऊ। मिटा सोचु जनि राखै राऊ।।
utaru na dēi dusaha risa rūkhī. mṛginha citava janu bāghini bhūkhī.. byādhi asādhi jāni tinha tyāgī. calīṃ kahata matimaṃda abhāgī.. rāju karata yaha daiaom bigōī. kīnhēsi asa jasa karai na kōī.. ēhi bidhi bilapahiṃ pura nara nārīṃ. dēhiṃ kucālihi kōṭika gārīṃ.. jarahiṃ biṣama jara lēhiṃ usāsā. kavani rāma binu jīvana āsā.. bipula biyōga prajā akulānī. janu jalacara gana sūkhata pānī.. ati biṣāda basa lōga lōgāī. gaē mātu pahiṃ rāmu gōsāī.. mukha prasanna cita cauguna cāū. miṭā sōcu jani rākhai rāū..
She gave no reply and wore a sullen look due to anger that could not be easily curbed. She stared at them as a hungry tigress would gaze on a herd of does. Finding her disease incurable, her friends left her saying as they went, 'Wretched fool! Fate could not brook her sovereignty and has betrayed her. She has done what nobody else would do." Men and women of the city thus lamented and showered numberless abuses on the wicked woman. They burned with terrible agony and sighed. "There can be no hope of life without Rama," they said. The people were disconcerted at the thought of long separation even as aquatic creatures get disturbed when water in which they live begins to fail. Men and women alike were overcome with excessive grief. In the meantime Lord Sri Rama called on His mother (Kausalya). He wore a cheerful look and had fourfold joy in his heart; He no longer feared lest the king should detain him.
