Doha 225

चौ०

सिसु सब राम प्रेमबस जाने। प्रीति समेत निकेत बखाने॥ निज निज रुचि सब लेहिं बोलाई। सहित सनेह जाहिं दोउ भाई॥ १॥

चौ०

राम देखावहिं अनुजहि रचना। कहि मृदु मधुर मनोहर बचना॥ लव निमेष महुँ भुवन निकाया। रचइ जासु अनुसासन माया॥२॥

चौ०

भगति हेतु सोइ दीनदयाला। चितवत चकित धनुष मखसाला॥ कौतुक देखि चले गुरु पाहीं। जानि बिलंबु त्रास मन माहीं॥ ३॥

चौ०

जासु त्रास डर कहुँ डर होई। भजन प्रभाउ देखावत सोई॥ कहि बातें मृदु मधुर सुहाईं। किए बिदा बालक बरिआईं॥४॥

Meaning

Finding all the children under the spell of affection, Śrī Rāma lovingly extolled the places shown by them. All of them would call the two brothers wherever they pleased and the two brothers went to them out of loving kindness. (1) Śrī Rāma showed to His younger brother the arrangements that had been made there, speaking to him in soft, sweet and agreeable words. He in obedience to whose fiat Māyā brings forth multitudes of universes in the fraction of a second, (2) the same gracious Lord, won over by devotion, looks with amazement on the arena for the bow-stringing performance (धनुषयज्ञ). Having seen the whole show the two brothers returned to their Guru; but the thought of their being late made them anxious. (3) The Lord, whose sublimity inspires terror into Terror itself thus manifests the glory of devotion. With many kind and courteous phrases they took leave of the youngsters, much against the latter’s wishes. (4)

दो०

सभय सप्रेम बिनीत अति सकुच सहित दोउ भाइ। गुर पद पंकज नाइ सिर बैठे आयसु पाइ॥२२५॥

Meaning

Meekly and most submissively, with a mingled feeling of awe and love, the two brothers bowed their head at the lotus-feet of the preceptor, Viśvāmitra, and sat down with his permission. (225)
