Doha 200
लालन जोगु लखन लघु लोने। भे न भाइ अस अहहिं न होने॥ पुरजन प्रिय पितु मातु दुलारे। सिय रघुबीरहि प्रानपिआरे॥१॥
मृदु मूरति सुकुमार सुभाऊ। तात बाउ तन लाग न काऊ॥ ते बन सहहिं बिपति सब भाँती। निदरे कोटि कुलिस एहिं छाती॥२॥
राम जनमि जगु कीन्ह उजागर। रूप सील सुख सब गुन सागर॥ पुरजन परिजन गुर पितु माता। राम सुभाउ सबहि सुखदाता॥३॥
बैरिउ राम बड़ाई करहीं। बोलनि मिलनि बिनय मन हरहीं॥ सारद कोटि कोटि सत सेषा। करि न सकहिं प्रभु गुन गन लेखा॥४॥
Meaning
“And my younger brother, Lakṣmaṇa, is so comely and worth loving endearingly; never was there such a brother, nor is there, nor will be. Beloved of the people and the darling of his parents, he is dear as life to both Revered Sītā and Śrī Rāma. (1) “Nay, he is so delicate of frame and tender of disposition and his body has never been exposed to hot winds; yet he is bearing hardships of every kind in the woods. Oh! my breast has outdone millions of thunderbolts. (2) “As for Śrī Rāma, he has illumined the world by taking birth in it; he is such an ocean of beauty, amiability, happiness and all excellences. Śrī Rāma’s disposition is the delight of the people of Ayodhyā and his own family, much more so of his preceptor and parents. (3) “Even enemies praise Śrī Rāma, who enraptures the heart by his polite speech, agreeable manners and modesty of bearing. Millions of Sarasvatīs (goddess of speech) and hundreds of millions of Śeṣas (serpent-gods) are unable to reckon up the virtues of the Lord. (4)
सुखस्वरूप रघुबंसमनि मंगल मोद निधान। ते सोवत कुस डासि महि बिधि गति अति बलवान॥२००॥
Meaning
“That jewel of Raghu’s line, Śrī Rāma, who is bliss-personified and a mine of joy and blessings, sleeps on the ground spreading Kuśa grass on it! The ways of Providence are inexorable indeed. (200)
