# Ayodhya Kand · Doha 87

**चौ०** 
> सीता सचिव सहित दोउ भाई। सृंगबेरपुर पहुँचे जाई॥  
> उतरे राम देवसरि देखी। कीन्ह दंडवत हरषु बिसेषी॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> लखन सचिवँ सियँ किए प्रनामा। सबहि सहित सुखु पायउ रामा॥  
> गंग सकल मुद मंगल मूला। सब सुख करनि हरनि सब सूला॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> कहि कहि कोटिक कथा प्रसंगा। रामु बिलोकहिं गंग तरंगा॥  
> सचिवहि अनुजहि प्रियहि सुनाई। बिबुध नदी महिमा अधिकाई॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> मज्जनु कीन्ह पंथ श्रम गयऊ। सुचि जलु पिअत मुदित मन भयऊ॥  
> सुमिरत जाहि मिटइ श्रम भारू। तेहि श्रम यह लौकिक ब्यवहारू॥४॥

Meaning: Accompanied by Sītā and the minister the two brothers arrived at Sṛṅgaverapura. Beholding the celestial stream, Gaṅgā, Śrī Rāma alighted from the chariot and fell prostrate on the ground with great joy. (1)

Lakṣmaṇa, Sītā and the minister too made obeisance and Śrī Rāma was gratified alongwith them all. A fount of all joys and blessings, the Gaṅgā brings all delight and drives away all sorrow. (2)

Narrating numerous anecdotes connected with it, Śrī Rāma gazed on the waves of the Gaṅgā and told Sumantra, the minister, His younger brother Lakṣmaṇa and His beloved Consort Sītā, the transcendent glory of the celestial stream. (3)

Then they bathed (in the Gaṅgā) and the fatigue of the journey was gone; and their hearts rejoiced when they drank of its holy water. That He, whose very thought relieves the great toil of transmigration, should feel fatigued reveals that He just imitated the ways of the world. (4)

**दो०** 
> सुद्ध सच्चिदानंदमय कंद भानुकुल केतु।  
> चरित करत नर अनुहरत संसृति सागर सेतु॥८७॥

Meaning: Śrī Rāma, who is a fountain of pure existence, knowledge and bliss, performed actions similar to those of a human being, and which constitute a bridge to cross the ocean of mundane existence. (87)
