Doha 249
राम बचन सुनि सभय समाजू। जनु जलनिधि महुँ बिकल जहाजू॥ सुनि गुर गिरा सुमंगल मूला। भयउ मनहुँ मारुत अनुकूला॥१॥
पावन पयँ तिहुँ काल नहाहीं। जो बिलोकि अघ ओघ नसाहीं॥ मंगलमूरति लोचन भरि भरि। निरखहिं हरषि दंडवत करि करि॥२॥
राम सैल बन देखन जाहीं। जहँ सुख सकल सकल दुख नाहीं॥ झरना झरहिं सुधासम बारी। त्रिबिध तापहर त्रिबिध बयारी॥३॥
बिटप बेलि तृन अगनित जाती। फल प्रसून पल्लव बहु भाँती॥ सुंदर सिला सुखद तरु छाहीं। जाइ बरनि बन छबि केहि पाहीं॥४॥
Meaning
Hearing the words of Śrī Rāma the assembly trembled with fear like a ship tossed on the ocean. When, however, they heard the auspicious words of the Guru, it seemed as though the wind had turned in their favour. (1) Thrice in the day (in the morning, at noon and in the evening) they bathed in the holy Payaśvinī river, the very sight of which wipes out hosts of sins, ever feasting their eyes on Śrī Rāma, the incarnation of blessedness, and gladly prostrating themselves before Him again and again. (2) They went out to see the hill and woods hallowed by the presence of Śrī Rāma, where reigned joy of every kind and which was free from all sorrows. Water sweet as nectar flowed from springs; while soft, cool and fragrant breeze soothed every mind and body, taking away all misery. (3) Trees, creepers and grasses of infinite variety; fruits, flowers and leaves of many kinds; beautiful slabs of stone and the delightful shade of trees: the splendour of the forest was beyond description. (4)
सरनि सरोरुह जल बिहग कूजत गुंजत भृंग। बैर बिगत बिहरत बिपिन मृग बिहंग बहुरंग॥२४९॥
Meaning
Lotuses adorned the lakes, waterfowls cooed and bees hummed; while birds and beasts of various colours roamed about in the forest free from animosities. (249)
