# Ayodhya Kand · Doha 125

Dialogue between Śrī Rāma and the sage Vālmīki

**चौ०** 
> मुनि कहुँ राम दंडवत कीन्हा। आसिरबादु बिप्रबर दीन्हा॥  
> देखि राम छबि नयन जुड़ाने। करि सनमानु आश्रमहिं आने॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> मुनिबर अतिथि प्रानप्रिय पाए। कंद मूल फल मधुर मगाए॥  
> सिय सौमित्रि राम फल खाए। तब मुनि आश्रम दिए सुहाए॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> बालमीकि मन आनँदु भारी। मंगल मूरति नयन निहारी॥  
> तब कर कमल जोरि रघुराई। बोले बचन श्रवन सुखदाई॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> तुम्ह त्रिकाल दरसी मुनिनाथा। बिस्व बदर जिमि तुम्हरें हाथा॥  
> अस कहि प्रभु सब कथा बखानी। जेहि जेहि भाँति दीन्ह बनु रानी॥४॥

Meaning: Śrī Rāma fell prostrate before the sage and the noble Brāhmaṇa sage blessed Him in return. The sight of Śrī Rāma’s beauty gladdened his eyes and with due honour he escorted the Lord into the hermitage. (1)

Finding guests as dear to him as life itself, the holy sage sent for delicious bulbs, roots and fruit. Sītā, Lakṣmaṇa and Śrī Rāma partook of those fruit and the sage then assigned them beautiful quarters. (2)

Great was the joy of Vālmīki’s heart as he beheld with his own eyes Śrī Rāma, who was bliss personified. Folding His lotus hands, Śrī Raghunātha then spoke to him in words which were delightful to the ears: (3)

“You directly perceive everything relating to the past, present and future, O lord of sages; the whole universe is as a plum in the palm of your hand.” Saying so, the Lord related to him the whole story as to how the queen (Kaikeyī) had exiled Him into the woods. (4)

**दो०** 
> तात बचन पुनि मातु हित भाइ भरत अस राउ।  
> मो कहुँ दरस तुम्हार प्रभु सबु मम पुन्य प्रभाउ॥१२५॥

Meaning: “Compliance with my father’s commands, gratification of mother Kaikeyī, the installation of a brother like Bharata on the throne and my seeing you—all this, my lord, is the result of my pious (and righteous) deeds. (125)
