Doha 106
को कहि सकइ प्रयाग प्रभाऊ। कलुष पुंज कुंजर मृगराऊ॥ अस तीरथपति देखि सुहावा। सुख सागर रघुबर सुखु पावा॥१॥
कहि सिय लखनहि सखहि सुनाई। श्रीमुख तीरथराज बड़ाई॥ करि प्रनामु देखत बन बागा। कहत महातम अति अनुरागा॥२॥
एहि बिधि आइ बिलोकी बेनी। सुमिरत सकल सुमंगल देनी॥ मुदित नहाइ कीन्हि सिव सेवा। पूजि जथाबिधि तीरथ देवा॥३॥
तब प्रभु भरद्वाज पहिं आए। करत दंडवत मुनि उर लाए॥ मुनि मन मोद न कछु कहि जाई। ब्रह्मानंद रासि जनु पाई॥४॥
Meaning
Who can describe the glory of Prayāga, a lion, as it were, for the herd of elephants in the shape of sins? The Chief of Raghus race, Śrī Rāma, who is an ocean of bliss, was filled with delight to see this glorious king of holy places. (1) With His own gracious lips Śrī Rāma told Sītā, Lakṣmaṇa and His friend Guha the magnificence of Prayāga. Making obeisance to this holy place, He cast a look round the groves and gardens and expatiated on its glory with utmost devotion. (2) In this way he arrived at and saw the confluence of the Gaṅgā and Yamunā, the very thought of which bestows all choice blessings. After bathing in the confluence, He gladly adored Lord Śiva and worshipped the deities presiding over the holy Prayāga, observing the prescribed rituals. (3) The Lord then called on Bharadvāja, and the sage clasped Him to his bosom as He fell prostrate before him. The joy that the sage felt within his heart cannot be described in words; it looked as if he had found the bliss of oneness with Brahma–incarnate. (4)
दीन्हि असीस मुनीस उर अति अनंदु अस जानि। लोचन गोचर सुकृत फल मनहुँ किए बिधि आनि॥१०६॥
Meaning
The chief of sages, Bharadvāja, invoked his blessings on the Lord. He felt great joy in his heart to perceive that God had, as it were, presented before him in visible form the reward of all his virtues by enabling him to see Śrī Rāma alongwith Sītā and Lakṣmaṇa. (106)
