# Ayodhya Kand · Doha 275

**चौ०** 
> भाइ सचिव गुर पुरजन साथा। आगें गवनु कीन्ह रघुनाथा॥  
> गिरिबरु दीख जनकपति जबहीं। करि प्रनामु रथ त्यागेउ तबहीं॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> राम दरस लालसा उछाहू। पथ श्रम लेसु कलेसु न काहू॥  
> मन तहँ जहँ रघुबर बैदेही। बिनु मन तन दुख सुख सुधि केही॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> आवत जनकु चले एहि भाँती। सहित समाज प्रेम मति माती॥  
> आए निकट देखि अनुरागे। सादर मिलन परसपर लागे॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> लगे जनक मुनिजन पद बंदन। रिषिन्ह प्रनामु कीन्ह रघुनंदन॥  
> भाइन्ह सहित रामु मिलि राजहि। चले लवाइ समेत समाजहि॥४॥

Meaning: Śrī Raghunātha led the way, accompanied by His younger brothers, minister Sumantra, Guru Vasiṣṭha and the citizens. The moment the lord of Janakas* espied the great hill of Kāmadanātha he made obeisance to it and dismounted from his chariot. (1)

* Just like ‘Videha,’ ‘Janaka’ too was title enjoyed by all the descendants of King Nimi. Hence the king of Mithilā has been referred to here as the “lord of Janakas”.

Seized as they were with a longing and eagerness to see Śrī Rāma, none of the party felt the least toil or hardship of the journey. For their mind was with Śrī Rāma and Jānakī and when the mind is elsewhere, who will feel the bodily pain or pleasure? (2)

In this way Janaka came advancing, his mind, alongwith that of his people, was full of affection. When they drew near and saw one another, they were overwhelmed with love and began to meet with due respect. (3)

King Janaka proceeded to adore the feet of the hermits (who hailed from Ayodhyā); while Śrī Rāma made obeisance to the sages (who accompanied Janaka). Śrī Rāma, alongwith His younger brothers, then greeted the king (their father-in-law) and led him with the whole retinue to His hermitage. (4)

**दो०** 
> आश्रम सागर सांत रस पूरन पावन पाथु।  
> सेन मनहुँ करुना सरित लिएँ जाहिं रघुनाथु॥२७५॥

Meaning: Śrī Rāma’s hermitage was an ocean, as it were, overflowing with the sacred water of quietism; while the host that accompanied Janaka was, as it were, a river of pathos, which Śrī Raghunātha was now conducting (to the ocean of His hermitage). (275)
