# Ayodhya Kand · Doha 139

**चौ०** 
> नयनवंत रघुबरहि बिलोकी। पाइ जनम फल होहिं बिसोकी॥  
> परसि चरन रज अचर सुखारी। भए परम पद के अधिकारी॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> सो बनु सैलु सुभायँ सुहावन। मंगलमय अति पावन पावन॥  
> महिमा कहिअ कवनि बिधि तासू। सुखसागर जहँ कीन्ह निवासू॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> पय पयोधि तजि अवध बिहाई। जहँ सिय लखनु रामु रहे आई॥  
> कहि न सकहिं सुषमा जसि कानन। जौं सत सहस होहिं सहसानन॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> सो मैं बरनि कहौं बिधि केहीं। डाबर कमठ कि मंदर लेहीं॥  
> सेवहिं लखनु करम मन बानी। जाइ न सीलु सनेहु बखानी॥४॥

Meaning: Having beheld Śrī Rāma, those who had eyes attained the end of their life and were rid of sorrow, whereas inanimate objects rejoiced at the touch of the very dust of His feet and thus all became eligible for attaining the highest state of blessedness. (1)

The forest and hill where that Ocean of Bliss, Śrī Rāma, took up His abode were naturally lovely, auspicious and the holiest of the holy; how could it be possible to describe their glory? (2)

The exquisite beauty of the forest where Sītā, Lakṣamaṇa and Śrī Rāma came and settled, taking leave of the ocean of milk and bidding adieu to Ayodhyā, could not be described even by a hundred thousand Śeṣas (each with a thousand pairs of tongues). (3)

How, then, can I describe it at some length any more than a tortoise living in a puddle can lift Mount Mandara? Lakṣmaṇa waited upon Śrī Rāma in thought, word and deed with an amiability and devotion more than one could vouchsafe. (4)

**दो०** 
> छिनु छिनु लखि सिय राम पद जानि आपु पर नेहु।  
> करत न सपनेहुँ लखनु चितु बंधु मातु पितु गेहु॥१३९॥

Meaning: Beholding the feet of Sītā and Śrī Rāma moment to moment and conscious of their love for him, Lakṣmaṇa never recalled even in a dream his brothers (Bharata and Śatrughna), father, mother or home. (139)
