Doha 236
बन प्रदेस मुनि बास घनेरे। जनु पुर नगर गाउँ गन खेरे॥ बिपुल बिचित्र बिहग मृग नाना। प्रजा समाजु न जाइ बखाना॥१॥
खगहा करि हरि बाघ बराहा। देखि महिष बृष साजु सराहा॥ बयरु बिहाइ चरहिं एक संगा। जहँ तहँ मनहुँ सेन चतुरंगा॥२॥
झरना झरहिं मत्त गज गाजहिं। मनहुँ निसान बिबिधि बिधि बाजहिं॥ चक चकोर चातक सुक पिक गन। कूजत मंजु मराल मुदित मन॥३॥
अलिगन गावत नाचत मोरा। जनु सुराज मंगल चहु ओरा॥ बेलि बिटप तृन सफल सफूला। सब समाजु मुद मंगल मूला॥४॥
Meaning
The numerous hermits’ habitations in the forest region were like so many towns, cities, villages and hamlets (comprising the king’s dominion). The many birds of various colours and the beasts of different varieties constituted his countless subjects. (1) The hares, elephants, lions, tigers, boars, buffaloes and bulls presented a sight which attracted admiration. Shedding their natural animosities, they roamed about together like an army complete in all its four limbs. (2) Rills of water flowed and elephants in rut trumpeted; their noise resembled the beat of kettledrums of various kinds. Cakravākas, Cakoras, Cātakas, parrots and cuckoos and swans made delightful and merry concert. (3) Swarms of bees hummed and peacocks danced, which showed, as it were, that there was universal rejoicing in that prosperous kingdom. Creepers, trees and blades of grass alike were blossoming and bore fruit; the entire community thus wore a festive and delightful appearance. (4)
राम सैल सोभा निरखि भरत हृदयँ अति पेमु। तापस तप फलु पाइ जिमि सुखी सिरानें नेमु॥२३६॥
Meaning
Beholding the beauty of Śrī Rāma’s hill (Citrakūṭa) Bharata’s heart overflowed with love even as an ascetic, who has reaped the fruit of his penance (तप), rejoices on the fulfilment of his vow. (236) [PAUSE 20 FOR A THIRTY-DAY RECITATION] [PAUSE 5 FOR A NINE-DAY RECITATION]
