# Ayodhya Kand · Doha 273

King Janaka’s arrival at Citrakūṭa; the Kolas and Kirātas offer presents to the visitors and all meet one another

**चौ०** 
> गरइ गलानि कुटिल कैकेई। काहि कहै केहि दूषनु देई॥  
> अस मन आनि मुदित नर नारी। भयउ बहोरि रहब दिन चारी॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> एहि प्रकार गत बासर सोऊ। प्रात नहान लाग सबु कोऊ॥  
> करि मज्जनु पूजहिं नर नारी। गनप गौरि तिपुरारि तमारी॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> रमा रमन पद बंदि बहोरी। बिनवहिं अंजुलि अंचल जोरी॥  
> राजा रामु जानकी रानी। आनँद अवधि अवध रजधानी॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> सुबस बसउ फिरि सहित समाजा। भरतहि रामु करहुँ जुबराजा॥  
> एहि सुख सुधाँ सींचि सब काहू। देव देहु जग जीवन लाहू॥४॥

Meaning: The malevolent Kaikeyī was writhing with remorse. To whom should she speak out her mind and whom could she blame? The people, on the other hand, were happy to think that their stay was ensured for some days more. (1)

In this way that day too was spent. The next morning everyone proceeded to bathe. And after their ablutions the men and women worshipped Lord Gaṇeśa, Goddess Gaurī (Śiva’s Consort), Bhagavān Śiva (the Slayer of the demon Tripura) and the Sun-god (the Dispeller of darkness). (2)

Again, they reverenced the feet of Bhagavān Viṣṇu (the Lord of Lakṣmī) and prayed, the men raising their joined palms, the women holding out the skirt of their garment (after the way of beggars); “With Śrī Rāma, our king, and Jānakī, our queen, may our capital, Ayodhyā, be gloriously— (3)

“rehabitated with all its communities and grow to be the very culmination of joy; and may Śrī Rāma install Bharata as the Crown Prince. Bathing all in the nectar of this bliss, let every one, O Lord, reap the reward of his existence in this world. (4)

**दो०** 
> गुर समाज भाइन्ह सहित राम राजु पुर होउ।  
> अछत राम राजा अवध मरिअ माग सबु कोउ॥२७३॥

Meaning: “May Śrī Rāma rule over Ayodhyā—his Guru, state councillors and brothers being all there. And may we die in Ayodhyā with Śrī Rāma as still our King.” This was what every one prayed for. (273)
