Doha 124

चौ०

अजहुँ जासु उर सपनेहुँ काऊ। बसहुँ लखनु सिय रामु बटाऊ॥ राम धाम पथ पाइहि सोई। जो पथ पाव कबहुँ मुनि कोई॥१॥

चौ०

तब रघुबीर श्रमित सिय जानी। देखि निकट बटु सीतल पानी॥ तहँ बसि कंद मूल फल खाई। प्रात नहाइ चले रघुराई॥२॥

चौ०

देखत बन सर सैल सुहाए। बालमीकि आश्रम प्रभु आए॥ राम दीख मुनि बासु सुहावन। सुंदर गिरि काननु जलु पावन॥३॥

चौ०

सरनि सरोज बिटप बन फूले। गुंजत मंजु मधुप रस भूले॥ खग मृग बिपुल कोलाहल करहीं। बिरहित बैर मुदित मन चरहीं॥४॥

Meaning

Nay, to this very day anyone in whose heart the wayfarers, Lakṣmaṇa, Sītā and Śrī Rāma, should ever dwell even in a dream, shall find the road leading to Śrī Rāma’s abode (the divine region known by the name of Sāketa),—the road that scarce any anchorite would find. (1) Then perceiving that Sītā was tired and seeing a banyan tree and cool water nearby, they stayed there overnight and partook of bulbs, roots and fruits. After bathing at dawn, Śrī Rāma (with Sītā and Lakṣmaṇa) proceeded further, (2) and beholding lovely woods, lakes and hills the Lord reached the hermitage of Vālmīki. Śrī Rāma saw the sage’s beautiful dwelling with its charming hills and forest and its sacred waters. (3) The lotuses in the ponds and the trees in the woods were in blossom; intoxicated with their honey, bees sweetly hummed over them. Birds and beasts made a tumultuous noise and moved about in joy free from all animosities. (4)

दो०

सुचि सुंदर आश्रमु निरखि हरषे राजिवनेन। सुनि रघुबर आगमनु मुनि आगें आयउ लेन॥१२४॥

Meaning

The lotus-eyed Śrī Rāma rejoiced to behold the sacred and lovely hermitage; hearing of the arrival of Śrī Rāma, sage Vālmīki came forth to receive Him. (124)
