Doha 274
सुनि सनेहमय पुरजन बानी। निंदहिं जोग बिरति मुनि ग्यानी॥ एहि बिधि नित्यकरम करि पुरजन। रामहि करहिं प्रनाम पुलकि तन॥१॥
ऊँच नीच मध्यम नर नारी। लहहिं दरसु निज निज अनुहारी॥ सावधान सबही सनमानहिं। सकल सराहत कृपानिधानहिं॥२॥
लरिकाइहि तें रघुबर बानी। पालत नीति प्रीति पहिचानी॥ सील सकोच सिंधु रघुराऊ। सुमुख सुलोचन सरल सुभाऊ॥३॥
कहत राम गुन गन अनुरागे। सब निज भाग सराहन लागे॥ हम सम पुन्य पुंज जग थोरे। जिन्हहि रामु जानत करि मोरे॥४॥
Meaning
Hearing the affectionate words of the citizens even enlightened sages talked disparagingly of Yoga (asceticism) and dispassion. Having thus performed their daily devotions, the citizens made obeisance to Śrī Rāma with a thrill of joy. (1) Men and women of every rank—high, low or middle—were blessed with His sight according to their own perception. Śrī Rāma scrupulously honours all and everyone praises the repository of compassion, Śrī Raghunātha, saying, (2) “From his very boyhood it has been Śrī Rāma’s wont to observe the rules of propriety, duly recognizing the love one cherishes towards him. With a lovely and cheerful countenance, gracious looks and a guileless disposition, Śrī Raghunātha is an ocean of amiability and modesty.” (3) Thus recounting the virtues of Śrī Rāma, they were all overwhelmed with emotion and began to extol their good fortune: “There are few people in the world as meritorious as we, whom Śrī Rāma recognizes as his own!” (4)
प्रेम मगन तेहि समय सब सुनि आवत मिथिलेसु। सहित सभा संभ्रम उठेउ रबिकुल कमल दिनेसु॥२७४॥
Meaning
All were absorbed in love at that time. Presently on hearing of the arrival of King Janaka, the lord of Mithilā, Śrī Rāma, who was a veritable sun to the lotus-like solar race, and the whole assembly got up quickly to receive him. (274)
