# Bal Kand · Doha 190

The Lord’s manifestation and the delightful nature of His childish sports

**चौ०** 
> तबहिं रायँ प्रिय नारि बोलाईं। कौसल्यादि तहाँ चलि आईं॥  
> अर्ध भाग कौसल्यहि दीन्हा। उभय भाग आधे कर कीन्हा॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> कैकेई कहँ नृप सो दयऊ। रह्यो सो उभय भाग पुनि भयऊ॥  
> कौसल्या कैकेई हाथ धरि। दीन्ह सुमित्रहि मन प्रसन्न करि॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> एहि बिधि गर्भसहित सब नारी। भईं हृदयँ हरषित सुख भारी॥  
> जा दिन तें हरि गर्भहिं आए। सकल लोक सुख संपति छाए॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> मंदिर महँ सब राजहिं रानीं। सोभा सील तेज की खानीं॥  
> सुख जुत कछुक काल चलि गयऊ। जेहिं प्रभु प्रगट सो अवसर भयऊ॥४॥

Meaning: The king at once sent for his beloved consorts. When Kausalyā and the other queens came, he gave one-half of the oblation to Kausalyā and divided the rest into two halves, (1)

one of which he gave to Kaikeyī. The remnant was again divided into two parts, which he placed in the hands of Kausalyā and Kaikeyī and after thus obtaining their assent handed both the shares to Sumitrā. (2)

In this way all the queens became pregnant. They were all glad at heart and felt very happy. From the time Śrī Hari got Himself into the womb, joy and prosperity reigned in all the worlds. (3)

In the palace resplendent were the queens, who were all mines of beauty, virtue and glory. Some time thus happily passed till the occasion arrived for the Lord to reveal Himself. (4)

**दो०** 
> जोग लगन ग्रह बार तिथि सकल भए अनुकूल।  
> चर अरु अचर हर्षजुत राम जनम सुखमूल॥१९०॥

Meaning: The position of the sun and the moon, the zodiacal sign into which the sun had entered, the position of the seven other planets, the day of the week as well as the day of the lunar month, all these turned out to be propitious. And full of delight was all creation, animate and inanimate, for the birth of Śrī Rāma is the source of joy. (190)
