# Ayodhya Kand · Doha 4

**चौ०** 
> सब बिधि गुरु प्रसन्न जियँ जानी। बोलेउ राउ रहँसि मृदु बानी॥  
> नाथ रामु करिअहिं जुबराजू। कहिअ कृपा करि करिअ समाजू॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> मोहि अछत यहु होइ उछाहू। लहहिं लोग सब लोचन लाहू॥  
> प्रभु प्रसाद सिव सबइ निबाहीं। यह लालसा एक मन माहीं॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> पुनि न सोच तनु रहउ कि जाऊ। जेहिं न होइ पाछें पछिताऊ॥  
> सुनि मुनि दसरथ बचन सुहाए। मंगल मोद मूल मन भाए॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> सुनु नृप जासु बिमुख पछिताहीं। जासु भजन बिनु जरनि न जाहीं॥  
> भयउ तुम्हार तनय सोइ स्वामी। रामु पुनीत प्रेम अनुगामी॥४॥

Meaning: When the king felt assured in his heart of the Guru being so favourably disposed in everyway, he cheerfully said in gentle tones, “My lord, let Rāma be invested with regal powers; pray, command me so that necessary preparations may be set afoot. (1)

“Let this happy event take place during my life-time so that all people may attain the reward of their eyes. By the Lord’s blessing, Śiva has allowed everything to pass smoothly; this is the only one longing that I have in my mind. (2)

“On the fulfillment of this desire, I will not mind whether this body survives or not, and I will not have to repent afterwards.” The sage was pleased to hear these agreeable words of Daśaratha, which were the very fountain of felicity and joy. (3)

He said, “Listen, O king! aversion to Śrī Rāma makes one repent, while His adoration is the only means of soothing the agony of one’s heart; nay, He follows like a shadow where there is pure love; the same Lord Śrī Rāma has been born as a son to you. (4)

**दो०** 
> बेगि बिलंबु न करिअ नृप साजिअ सबुइ समाजु।  
> सुदिन सुमंगलु तबहिं जब रामु होहिं जुबराजु॥४॥

Meaning: “O king, let there be no delay, and make all preparations quickly. That day itself is auspicious and full of blessings when Rāma is proclaimed Regent.” (4)
