Doha 138
करि केहरि कपि कोल कुरंगा। बिगतबैर बिचरहिं सब संगा॥ फिरत अहेर राम छबि देखी। होहिं मुदित मृगबृंद बिसेषी॥१॥
बिबुध बिपिन जहँ लगि जग माहीं। देखि राम बनु सकल सिहाहीं॥ सुरसरि सरसइ दिनकर कन्या। मेकलसुता गोदावरि धन्या॥२॥
सब सर सिंधु नदीं नद नाना। मंदाकिनि कर करहिं बखाना॥ उदय अस्त गिरि अरु कैलासू। मंदर मेरु सकल सुरबासू॥३॥
सैल हिमाचल आदिक जेते। चित्रकूट जसु गावहिं तेते॥ बिंधि मुदित मन सुखु न समाई। श्रम बिनु बिपुल बड़ाई पाई॥४॥
Meaning
Elephants, lions, monkeys, boars and deer, all sported together, free from animosity. Herds of deer were enraptured when they beheld the beauty of Śrī Rāma roaming about in search of prey. (1) All the forests of gods existing in the universe were filled with envy at the sight of Śrī Rāma’s forest. The heavenly river Gaṅgā, Sarasvatī, the Sun-born Yamunā, Narmadā (the daughter of Mount Mekala), the blessed Godāvarī, (2) and the various other lakes, seas, streams and rivers, all extolled the Mandākinī. The eastern and western hills (from and behind which the sun is believed to emerge and set every morning and evening), Mount Kailāsa (the abode of Lord Śiva), Mandara, Meru, all abodes of gods, (3) and mountains like the Himālayas and others, all sang praises of Citrakūṭa. Extremely happy was the deity presiding over the Vindhya range*, whose delight was more than his heart could contain, to think that he had won such great renown without exertion. (4) * Citrakūṭa being a peak of the Vindhya mountains, the glory of the former is naturally shared by the latter. It is on this account that joyfulness is attributed to the range itself.
चित्रकूट के बिहग मृग बेलि बिटप तृन जाति। पुन्य पुंज सब धन्य अस कहहिं देव दिन राति॥१३८॥
Meaning
“Blessed and full of merit are the birds and deer, creepers, trees and the various species of herbage of Citrakūṭa,” so declare the gods day and night. (138)
