# Ayodhya Kand · Doha 3

Preparations for Śrī Rāma’s installation as the Prince Regent of Ayodhyā; the god’s concern over the same and their approaching Goddess Sarasvatī for help

**चौ०** 
> कहइ भुआलु सुनिअ मुनिनायक। भए राम सब बिधि सब लायक॥  
> सेवक सचिव सकल पुरबासी। जे हमारे अरि मित्र उदासी॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> सबहि रामु प्रिय जेहि बिधि मोही। प्रभु असीस जनु तनु धरि सोही॥  
> बिप्र सहित परिवार गोसाईं। करहिं छोहु सब रौरिहि नाईं॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> जे गुर चरन रेनु सिर धरहीं। ते जनु सकल बिभव बस करहीं॥  
> मोहि सम यहु अनुभयउ न दूजें। सबु पायउँ रज पावनि पूजें॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> अब अभिलाषु एकु मन मोरें। पूजिहि नाथ अनुग्रह तोरें॥  
> मुनि प्रसन्न लखि सहज सनेहू। कहेउ नरेस रजायसु देहू॥४॥

Meaning: Said the king, “Listen, O chief of sages: Rāma is now accomplished in everyway. Servants/followers and ministers, nay, all the people of the city and others who are either my enemies or friends or neutrals, (1)

“hold Rāma as dear as I do. It seems your benediction itself has incarnated in his lovely form. What more, my lord, all the Brāhmaṇas and their families cherish the same love for him as you do. (2)

“Those who place on their head the dust from the Guru’s feet acquire mastery, as it were, over all fortune. No one has realized it as I have done; I have obtained everything by adoring the holy dust of your feet. (3)

“Now there remains only one longing in my heart and that too will be fulfilled by your grace, my lord.” The sage was delighted to perceive his sincere devotion and said, “O king, give directions (i.e., express your desire!). (4)

**दो०** 
> राजन राउर नामु जसु सब अभिमत दातार।  
> फल अनुगामी महिप मनि मन अभिलाषु तुम्हार॥३॥

Meaning: “O king, your very name and glory grant all one’s desires. The object of your heart’s desire, O jewel of monarchs, is accomplished even before you entertain a desire.” (3)
