# Bal Kand · Doha 214

Janaka’s ecstasy of love at the sight of Śrī Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa

**चौ०** 
> सुभग द्वार सब कुलिस कपाटा। भूप भीर नट मागध भाटा॥  
> बनी बिसाल बाजि गज साला। हय गय रथ संकुल सब काला॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> सूर सचिव सेनप बहुतेरे। नृपगृह सरिस सदन सब केरे॥  
> पुर बाहेर सर सरित समीपा। उतरे जहँ तहँ बिपुल महीपा॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> देखि अनूप एक अँवराई। सब सुपास सब भाँति सुहाई॥  
> कौसिक कहेउ मोर मनु माना। इहाँ रहिअ रघुबीर सुजाना॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> भलेहिं नाथ कहि कृपानिकेता। उतरे तहँ मुनिबृंद समेता॥  
> बिस्वामित्र महामुनि आए। समाचार मिथिलापति पाए॥४॥

Meaning: The entrances to the palace were all beautiful and protected with doors of diamond. They were always thronged with feudatory princes, dancers, panegyrists and bards. There were spacious stables and stalls for elephants, which were crowded at all times with steeds, elephants and chariots. (1)

The king had a number of valorous stalwarts, ministers and generals. They all owned mansions that vied with the royal palace. In the outskirts of the city, by the side of lakes and rivers, numerous princes had encamped here and there. (2)

On Seeing a fine mango-grove, which was comfortable and agreeable in everyway, sage Viśvāmitra said, “O sagacious Raghuvīra, I like this orchard; let us stay here.” (3)

“Very well, my lord!” answered the gracious Lord, and encamped there with all the hermits and their retinue. When the king of Mithilā got the news that the great sage Viśvāmitra had come, (4)

**दो०** 
> संग सचिव सुचि भूरि भट भूसुर बर गुर ग्याति।  
> चले मिलन मुनिनायकहि मुदित राउ एहि भाँति॥२१४॥

Meaning: he took with him his pure-hearted (honest and faithful) ministers, a number of warriors, noble Brāhmaṇas, his family preceptor, Śatānanda, and the chiefs of his kinsmen, and thus went forth with a gladdened heart to meet the foremost of sages, Viśvāmitra. (214)
