Doha 217
मुनि तव चरन देखि कह राऊ। कहि न सकउँ निज पुन्य प्रभाऊ॥ सुंदर स्याम गौर दोउ भ्राता। आनँदहू के आनँद दाता॥१॥
इन्ह कै प्रीति परसपर पावनि। कहि न जाइ मन भाव सुहावनि॥ सुनहु नाथ कह मुदित बिदेहू। ब्रह्म जीव इव सहज सनेहू॥२॥
पुनि पुनि प्रभुहि चितव नरनाहू। पुलक गात उर अधिक उछाहू॥ मुनिहि प्रसंसि नाइ पद सीसू। चलेउ लवाइ नगर अवनीसू॥३॥
सुंदर सदनु सुखद सब काला। तहाँ बासु लै दीन्ह भुआला॥ करि पूजा सब बिधि सेवकाई। गयउ राउ गृह बिदा कराई॥४॥
Meaning
“When I behold your feet, O sage,” added the king, “I cannot tell what a great merit (Puṇya) I had earned in the past. These two brothers, one of whom is dark of hue and the other fair, are the delight of Delight itself. (1) “Their guileless affection for each other is beyond description; it is so agreeable and soul-ravishing.” “Listen to me, my lord,” continued King Videha (Janaka) rejoicing, “they have natural affinity for each other like the one existing between Brahma (the Supreme Spirit) and Jīva (the individual soul).” (2) The king gazed upon the Lord over and over again; the hair on his body stood on end and his heart overflowed with joy. Extolling the sage and bowing his head at the latter’s feet, the king escorted them to his capital, (3) and lodged them in a beautiful palace which was comfortable at all times. Then, after further homage and rendering all kinds of service to them, the king took leave (of the sage) and returned to his palace. (4)
रिषय संग रघुबंस मनि करि भोजनु बिश्रामु। बैठे प्रभु भ्राता सहित दिवसु रहा भरि जामु॥२१७॥
Meaning
Having dined with the seers and rested awhile, Lord Śrī Rāma, the Jewel of Raghu’s race, sat down alongwith His brother; a quarter of the day still remained. (217)
