The boy was of sharp intellect and genius.

अतः शीघ्र ही बालक समस्त विद्याओं में पारंगत हो गया|

(Atah, sheeghra hee baalak samast vidhyayon mein paarangat ho gay.)

So, soon the boy became an expert in all disciplines.

वे अपनी जन्मभूमि वापस आ गये|

(Vey apnee janmabhoomi wapas aa gaye.)

He returned back to his place of birth.

उनका परिवार नष्ट हो चुका था|

(Unka pareewaar nasht ho chukaa ttha.)

His family had been destroyed.

उन्होंने अपने पिता तथा पूर्वजों का विधिपूर्वक श्राद्ध किया|

(Unhonay apney pita tatha purvajon ka vidhipoorvak shraadh kiya.)

He conducted the memorial service for his father and ancestors properly.

वह वहीं रह कर लोगों को राम कथा सुनाने लगे|

(Vah vahin rah kar logon ko Raam katha sunanay lagey.)

एक बार जब रत्नावली को उसका भाई मायके लिवा गया तो तुलसीदास वियोग नहीं सह पाये|

(Ek baar jab Ratnavalee ko uska bhaai maaykay liva gaya to vey viyog nahee  sah paaye.)

Once when his brother took Ratnavali to her maternal house Tulsidas could not bear the separation.

तब तुलसीदास पीछे पीछे अपने ससुराल तक चले गये|

(Tab Rambola peechhey peechhey apney sasuraal tak chaley gaye.)

Then Tulsidas went behind them upto his father-in-laws house .

वह घर के पीछे गए और एक पेड़ पर चढ़ गए|

(Vah ghar key peechey gae aur ek ped par chaddh gaye.)

He went behind the house and climbed over a tree.

जल्दी में, वह एक साँप को पकड़ा एवं  खिड़की तक पहुँच गए और खटखटाया|

(Jaldee mei, vah ek saanp ko pakada evam  khidkee tak pahunch gaye aur khatkhataaya.)

In hurry, he caught hold of a snake and reached the window and knocked.

रत्नावली को उनकी यह बात अच्छी नहीं लगी|

(Ratnalvalee ko unkee ya baat achhee nahin lagi.)

Ratnawalee did not like this matter.

उसने अपनी नाराजगी व्यक्त की|

(Usnay apnee naarajagee byakt kee.)

She expressed her resentment.

आपको लाज नहीं आई जो दौड़ते हुये साथ आ गये|

(Aapko laaj nahin aayee jo daudtey huey saath aa gaye.)

You did not feel ashamed that came along running.

ऐसे प्रेम को धिक्कार है|

(Aisey prem ko dhikkar hai.)

Damn it,your such love.

यदि इससे आधी प्रीति भी आपको भगवान श्रीराम से होती तो आपको संसार से मोक्ष मिल जाता|

(Yadi issey aadhee peeti bhee aapko bhagwaan Sriram sey hotee to aapko sansaar sey moksh mi jaata.)

If even half of this love you had for Lord Sriram , then you would have found the salvation from the world.

रत्नावली के ये वाक्य तुलसीदास के दिल को छू गये|

(Ratnawali key ye vaakya rambhola ke dil ko chhoo gaye.)

These sentences of Ratnawali touched the heart of Tulsidas.

रत्नावली की फटकार ने तुलसीदास के ज्ञान नेत्र खोल दिये थे|

(Ratnawali kee fatkaar ney tulsidas key gyaan netr khol diye tthey.)

Wife’s reprimand had open Tulsidas’s eye of the knowledge.
