Doha 242
भेंटेउ लखन ललकि लघु भाई। बहुरि निषादु लीन्ह उर लाई॥ पुनि मुनिगन दुहुँ भाइन्ह बंदे। अभिमत आसिष पाइ अनंदे॥१॥
सानुज भरत उमगि अनुरागा। धरि सिर सिय पद पदुम परागा॥ पुनि पुनि करत प्रनाम उठाए। सिर कर कमल परसि बैठाए॥२॥
सीयँ असीस दीन्हि मन माहीं। मगन सनेहँ देह सुधि नाहीं॥ सब बिधि सानुकूल लखि सीता। भे निसोच उर अपडर बीता॥३॥
कोउ किछु कहइ न कोउ किछु पूँछा। प्रेम भरा मन निज गति छूँछा॥ तेहि अवसर केवटु धीरजु धरि। जोरि पानि बिनवत प्रनामु करि॥४॥

When they found Sītā propitious in everyway, they became free from anxiety and the imaginary fears of their heart were gone. (3) No one uttered a word nor asked any question; the mind was so full of love that it had stopped its activity. Presently the Niṣāda chief collected himself and bowing his head submitted with folded hands, (4)
नाथ साथ मुनिनाथ के मातु सकल पुर लोग। सेवक सेनप सचिव सब आए बिकल बियोग॥२४२॥
