# Ayodhya Kand · Doha 290

**चौ०** 
> राम भरत गुन गनत सप्रीती । निसि दंपतिहि पलक सम बीती॥  
> राज समाज प्रात जुग जागे । न्हाइ न्हाइ सुर पूजन लागे॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> गे नहाइ गुर पहिं रघुराई । बंदि चरन बोले रुख पाई॥  
> नाथ भरतु पुरजन महतारी । सोक बिकल बनबास दुखारी॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> सहित समाज राउ मिथिलेसू । बहुत दिवस भए सहत कलेसू॥  
> उचित होइ सोइ कीजिअ नाथा । हित सबही कर रौरें हाथा॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> अस कहि अति सकुचे रघुराऊ । मुनि पुलके लखि सीलु सुभाऊ॥  
> तुम्ह बिनु राम सकल सुख साजा । नरक सरिस दुहु राज समाजा॥४॥

Meaning: As the king and queen (Janaka and Sunayanā) were thus fondly recounting the virtues of Śrī Rāma and Bharata, the night passed like a moment. At daybreak both the royal camps awoke and after finishing their ablutions, proceeded to worship gods. (1)

Having performed His ablutions Śrī Rāma, the Lord of Raghus, called on His Guru and after adoring his feet and receiving his tacit permission said, “Holy Sir, Bharata, the citizens and my mothers are all stricken with grief and are being inconvenienced by their sojourn in the woods. (2)

“The king of Mithilā too and his people have been enduring hardships for many days past. Therefore, my lord, do what is advisable in the circumstances. The welfare of all lies in your hands.” (3)

So saying, Śrī Rāma was very much bashful. And the sage was thrilled with joy when he saw His amiability and kind disposition. “Without you, Rāma, all amenities of life are like hell to both the royal camps. (4)

**दो०** 
> प्रान प्रान के जीव के जिव सुख के सुख राम।  
> तुम्ह तजि तात सोहात गृह जिन्हहि तिन्हहि बिधि बाम॥२९०॥

Meaning: “Rāma! you are the life of life, the soul of soul and the joy of joy. Those who like to be in their home away from you, my child, are under the impact of an adverse fate. (290)
