# Ayodhya Kand · Doha 11

**चौ०** 
> बाजहिं बाजने बिबिध बिधाना। पुर प्रमोदु नहिं जाइ बखाना॥  
> भरत आगमनु सकल मनावहिं। आवहुँ बेगि नयन फलु पावहिं॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> हाट बाट घर गलीं अथाईं। कहहिं परसपर लोग लोगाईं॥  
> कालि लगन भलि केतिक बारा। पूजिहि बिधि अभिलाषु हमारा॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> कनक सिंघासन सीय समेता। बैठहिं रामु होइ चित चेता॥  
> सकल कहहिं कब होइहि काली। बिघन मनावहिं देव कुचाली॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> तिन्हहि सोहाइ न अवध बधावा। चोरहि चंदिनि राति न भावा॥  
> सारद बोलि बिनय सुर करहीं। बारहिं बार पाय लै परहीं॥४॥

Meaning: There was sound of music of various kinds, and the rejoicing in the city was beyond words. All prayed for Bharata’s return (from his maternal uncle’s) and said to one another, “Would it be that Bharata came expeditiously and obtained the reward of his eyes?”(1)

In every bazar, street, house, lane and place of resort men and women talked to one another, “When will that blessed hour start tomorrow during which God will fulfil our desire. (2)

“When, with Sītā beside Him, Śrī Rāma will adorn the throne of gold and when the object of our desire will be accomplished?” They all said: “When will the morrow come?” while the wicked gods prayed for some mishap to brew in the meantime. (3)

The rejoicing that was going on in Ayodhyā did not please them even as a moonlit night is not liked by a thief. Invoking Sarasvatī, the gods supplicated her and laying hold of her feet, reverentially fell at them again and again. (4)

**दो०** 
> बिपति हमारि बिलोकि बड़ि मातु करिअ सोइ आजु।  
> रामु जाहिं बन राजु तजि होइ सकल सुरकाजु॥११॥

Meaning: “Perceiving our grave calamity, O Mother, manipulate things in such a way today that Śrī Rāma may retire to the forest, relinquishing the throne, and the object of us immortals may be wholly accomplished.” (11)
