Doha 322
मुनि महिसुर गुर भरत भुआलू। राम बिरहँ सबु साजु बिहालू॥ प्रभु गुन ग्राम गनत मन माहीं। सब चुपचाप चले मग जाहीं॥१॥
जमुना उतरि पार सबु भयऊ। सो बासरु बिनु भोजन गयऊ॥ उतरि देवसरि दूसर बासू। रामसखाँ सब कीन्ह सुपासू॥२॥
सई उतरि गोमतीं नहाए। चौथें दिवस अवधपुर आए॥ जनकु रहे पुर बासर चारी। राज काज सब साज सँभारी॥३॥
सौंपि सचिव गुर भरतहि राजू। तेरहुति चले साजि सबु साजू॥ नगर नारि नर गुर सिख मानी। बसे सुखेन राम रजधानी॥४॥
Meaning
The sages and other Brāhmaṇas, the Preceptor, Sage Vasiṣṭha, Bharata and King Janaka—the whole host was mentally perturbed on account of their parting from Śrī Rāma. Revolving in their mind the numerous virtues of the lord, all wended their way in silence. (1) Crossing the Yamunā everyone reached the other bank; the day passed without any food. The next halt was made on the other bank of the Gaṅgā (at Sṛṅgaverapura) where Śrī Rāma’s friend Guha made all arrangements for their comfort. (2) Ferrying over the Saī, they bathed in the Gomatī and reached Ayodhyā on the fourth day. King Janaka stayed in the capital for four days, looked after the state administration as well as all the state property, and (3) entrusting the reins of government to the ministers, the Preceptor, Sage Vasiṣṭha, and Bharata, he left for Tirhut (his capital) after making all necessary arrangements. Following the preceptor’s advice the men and women of the city ensconced themselves in Śrī Rāma’s capital, Ayodhyā. (4)
राम दरस लगि लोग सब करत नेम उपबास। तजि तजि भूषन भोग सुख जिअत अवधि कीं आस॥३२२॥
Meaning
All the people practised religious austerities and fasted in order to be able to see Śrī Rāma again. Discarding all personal adornments and sensuous pleasures they survived in expectation of the expiry of the term of his exile. (322)
