# Aranya Kand · Doha 7

**चौ०** 
> मुनि पद कमल नाइ करि सीसा। चले बनहि सुर नर मुनि ईसा॥  
> आगें राम अनुज पुनि पाछें। मुनि बर बेष बने अति काछें॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> उभय बीच श्री सोहइ कैसी। ब्रह्म जीव बिच माया जैसी॥  
> सरिता बन गिरि अवघट घाटा। पति पहिचानि देहिं बर बाटा॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> जहँ जहँ जाहिं देव रघुराया। करहिं मेघ तहँ तहँ नभ छाया॥  
> मिला असुर बिराध मग जाता। आवतहीं रघुबीर निपाता॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> तुरतहिं रुचिर रूप तेहिं पावा। देखि दुखी निज धाम पठावा॥  
> पुनि आए जहँ मुनि सरभंगा। सुंदर अनुज जानकी संगा॥४॥

Meaning: Bowing His head at the lotus feet of the sage, Śrī Rāma, the Lord of celestials, human beings and sages, proceeded to the woods. Śrī Rāma walked foremost, while Lakṣmaṇa followed Him in the rear, both appearing most lovely in the garb of hermits. (1)

Between the two, Sītā (who was the same as Śrī, the Goddess of Prosperity) shone forth like Māyā, which stands between Brahma (the Absolute) and the Jīva (the individual embodied soul). Rivers and thickets, hills and rugged valleys recognized their Lord and gave Him a smooth passage. (2)

Wherever the divine Śrī Raghunātha passed, the clouds made a canopy in the sky. Even as the trio wended their way, the demon Virādha met them; Śrī Raghunātha killed him as soon as he made his appearance. (3)

Meeting his death at the hands of the Lord, he immediately attained a beauteous (divine) form; finding him miserable, the Lord sent him to His own abode. Accompanied by His lovely younger brother Lakṣmaṇa and Sītā, the Lord then came to sage Sarabhaṅga. (4)

**दो०** 
> देखि राम मुख पंकज मुनिबर लोचन भृंग।  
> सादर पान करत अति धन्य जन्म सरभंग॥७॥

Meaning: Gazing on Śrī Rāma’s lotus face, the eyes of the great sage reverently drank in its beauty like bees. Blessed indeed is the birth of Sarabhaṅga! (7)
