Doha 133
रघुबर कहेउ लखन भल घाटू। करहु कतहुँ अब ठाहर ठाटू॥ लखन दीख पय उतर करारा। चहुँ दिसि फिरेउ धनुष जिमि नारा॥१॥
नदी पनच सर सम दम दाना। सकल कलुष कलि साउज नाना॥ चित्रकूट जनु अचल अहेरी। चुकइ न घात मार मुठभेरी॥२॥
अस कहि लखन ठाउँ देखरावा। थलु बिलोकि रघुबर सुखु पावा॥ रमेउ राम मनु देवन्ह जाना। चले सहित सुर थपति प्रधाना॥३॥
कोल किरात बेष सब आए। रचे परन तृन सदन सुहाए॥ बरनि न जाहिं मंजु दुइ साला। एक ललित लघु एक बिसाला॥४॥
Meaning
Śrī Rāma said, “Lakṣmaṇa, here is a good descent into the river; now make arrangements for our stay somewhere here.” Lakṣmaṇa presently surveyed the north bank of the Payaswini river and said, “Lo ! a rivulet bends round this bank, (1) “like a bow with the river itself for its string, control of the mind and senses and charity for its arrows, and all the sins of the Kali age for its many quarries. Armed with this bow Mount Citrakūṭa looks like an immovable huntsman, who takes unerring aim and makes a frontal attack.” (2) With these words Lakṣmaṇa showed the spot and Śrī Rāma was delighted to see the site. When the gods learnt that the site had captivated Śrī Rāma’s mind, they proceeded to Citrakūṭa with Viśvakarmā, the chief of heavenly architects. (3) They all came in the guise of Kolas and Bhīlas and put up beautiful dwellings of leaves and grass. They made a pair of huts which were lovely beyond words, the one a fine little cottage and the other larger in size. (4)
लखन जानकी सहित प्रभु राजत रुचिर निकेत। सोह मदनु मुनि बेष जनु रति रितुराज समेत॥१३३॥
Meaning
Adorning the beautiful cottage of foliage, with Lakṣmaṇa and Jānakī, the Lord looked as charming as the god of love, attired as hermit, accompanied by his consort, Rati, and the deity presiding over Spring (the king of seasons). (133) [PAUSE 17 FOR A THIRTY-DAY RECITATION]
