# Bal Kand · Doha 155

**चौ०** 
> भूप प्रतापभानु बल पाई। कामधेनु भै भूमि सुहाई॥  
> सब दुख बरजित प्रजा सुखारी। धरमसील सुंदर नर नारी॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> सचिव धरमरुचि हरि पद प्रीती। नृप हित हेतु सिखव नित नीती॥  
> गुर सुर संत पितर महिदेवा। करइ सदा नृप सब कै सेवा॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> भूप धरम जे बेद बखाने। सकल करइ सादर सुख माने॥  
> दिन प्रति देइ बिबिध बिधि दाना। सुनइ सास्त्र बर बेद पुराना॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> नाना बापीं कूप तड़ागा। सुमन बाटिका सुंदर बागा॥  
> बिप्रभवन सुरभवन सुहाए। सब तीरथन्ह बिचित्र बनाए॥४॥

Meaning: Invigorated by king Pratāpabhānu’s might, the charming earth became the cow of plenty, as it were, (yielded all one’s coveted products). The people were happy and free from all sorrows; both men and women were good-looking and virtuous. (1)

The minister, Dharmaruci, was devoted to the feet of Śrī Hari; in the interest of his royal master he advised him on state policy every day. Preceptors, gods, saints, manes and Brāhmaṇas—the king invariably served them all. (2)

Whatever duties have been enjoined on a king in the Vedas, he gladly and devoutly performed. He bestowed gifts of various kinds every day and listened to great scriptures, including the Vedas and the Purāṇas. (3)

In all holy places he constructed many small and big wells and tanks, flower gardens and lovely orchards, dwellings for the Brāhmaṇas and beautiful temples of wonderful architecture. (4)

**दो०** 
> जहँ लगि कहे पुरान श्रुति एक एक सब जाग।  
> बार सहस्र सहस्र नृप किए सहित अनुराग॥१५५॥

Meaning: Whatever sacrifices have been enjoined in the Vedas and the Purāṇas, the king devoutly performed, each one of them a thousand times. (155)
