Doha 89
राम लखन सिय रूप निहारी। कहहिं सप्रेम ग्राम नर नारी॥ ते पितु मातु कहहु सखि कैसे। जिन्ह पठए बन बालक ऐसे॥१॥
एक कहहिं भल भूपति कीन्हा। लोयन लाहु हमहि बिधि दीन्हा॥ तब निषादपति उर अनुमाना। तरु सिंसुपा मनोहर जाना॥२॥
लै रघुनाथहि ठाउँ देखावा। कहेउ राम सब भाँति सुहावा॥ पुरजन करि जोहारु घर आए। रघुबर संध्या करन सिधाए॥३॥
गुहँ सँवारि साँथरी डसाई। कुस किसलयमय मृदुल सुहाई॥ सुचि फल मूल मधुर मृदु जानी। दोना भरि भरि राखेसि पानी॥४॥
Meaning
Beholding the beauty of Śrī Rāma, Lakṣmaṇa and Sītā, men and women of the village feelingly said, “What sort of parents, O friend, can they be who have sent such children to the forest?” (1) Another said: “The king has done well in that God has thereby given us the reward of our eyes.” The Chief of the Niṣādas then pondered within himself and thought of a charming Aśoka tree. (2) He took Śrī Raghunātha to the spot and showed it to Him; Śrī Rāma said that the place was beautiful in every way. The people of the town then returned home after paying their obeisance to Him, while Śrī Raghunātha retired for performing His evening devotions. (3) In the meantime Guha prepared a soft and beautiful bed of Kuśa grass and tender leaves and spread it on the ground. He also placed beside Him with his own hands bowls of leaves full of fruits and roots which he knew to be pure, delicious and soft. (4)
सिय सुमंत्र भ्राता सहित कंद मूल फल खाइ। सयन कीन्ह रघुबंसमनि पाय पलोटत भाइ॥८९॥
Meaning
Having partaken of the bulbs, roots and fruits along with Sītā, Sumantra and His brother Lakṣmaṇa, Śrī Raghunātha lay down to sleep, while His brother pressed His legs. (89)
