Doha 128
सुनि मुनि बचन प्रेम रस साने। सकुचि राम मन महुँ मुसुकाने॥ बालमीकि हँसि कहहिं बहोरी। बानी मधुर अमिअ रस बोरी॥१॥
सुनहु राम अब कहउँ निकेता। जहाँ बसहु सिय लखन समेता॥ जिन्ह के श्रवन समुद्र समाना। कथा तुम्हारि सुभग सरि नाना॥२॥
भरहिं निरंतर होहिं न पूरे। तिन्ह के हिय तुम्ह कहुँ गृह रूरे॥ लोचन चातक जिन्ह करि राखे। रहहिं दरस जलधर अभिलाषे॥३॥
निदरहिं सरित सिंधु सर भारी। रूप बिंदु जल होहिं सुखारी॥ तिन्ह कें हृदय सदन सुखदायक। बसहु बंधु सिय सह रघुनायक॥४॥
Meaning
On hearing the sage’s words, imbued as they were with love, Śrī Rāma felt modest and smiled within Himself. Vālmīki too smiled and spoke to Him again in words as sweet as though they were steeped in nectar: (1) “Listen, Rāma: I tell You now the places where You should abide with Sītā and Lakṣmaṇa. The heart of those whose ears are like the ocean, constantly replenished with a number of lovely streams in the shape of Your stories, (2) “but know no satiety, shall be Your charming abode. Again, the heart of those whose eyes long to see You even as the Cātaka bird longs to see the rain-cloud, (3) “and, disdaining like the same bird—rivers, oceans and big lakes—derive satisfaction from a drop of Your rain-like beauty, it is their heart alone which shall serve as Your delightful home, where You and Your younger brother Lakṣmaṇa and Sītā may take up Your abode. (4)
जसु तुम्हार मानस बिमल हंसिनि जीहा जासु। मुकताहल गुन गन चुनइ राम बसहु हियँ तासु॥१२८॥
Meaning
“Nay, You should dwell in the heart of him whose swan-like tongue picks up pearls in the shape of Your virtues in the holy Mānasarovara lake of Your fame. (128)
