Doha 227
सकल सौच करि जाइ नहाए। नित्य निबाहि मुनिहि सिर नाए॥ समय जानि गुर आयसु पाई। लेन प्रसून चले दोउ भाई॥१॥
भूप बागु बर देखेउ जाई। जहँ बसंत रितु रही लोभाई॥ लागे बिटप मनोहर नाना। बरन बरन बर बेलि बिताना॥२॥
नव पल्लव फल सुमन सुहाए। निज संपति सुर रूख लजाए॥ चातक कोकिल कीर चकोरा। कूजत बिहग नटत कल मोरा॥३॥
मध्य बाग सरु सोह सुहावा। मनि सोपान बिचित्र बनावा॥ बिमल सलिलु सरसिज बहुरंगा। जलखग कूजत गुंजत भृंगा॥४॥
Meaning
Having performed all the customary acts of purification, they went and finished their ablutions; and having gone through their daily routine of devotions etc., they bowed before the sage. When the time came, the two brothers took leave of the preceptor and went out to gather flowers. (1) Having gone out they saw the lovely royal garden, enamoured of whose beauty the vernal season had taken its permanent abode there. It was planted with charming trees of various kinds and was overhung with beautiful creepers of different colours. (2) Rich in fresh leaf, fruit and flower, they put to shame even the celestial trees by their plentiful growth. The feathered choir of the Cātakas, cuckoos, parrots and Cakoras warbled and peacocks beautifully danced. (3) In the centre of the garden a lovely lake shone bright with flights of steps made of many-coloured gems. Its limpid water contained lotuses of various colours; the aquatic birds are happily cooing and the bees are humming. (4)
बागु तड़ागु बिलोकि प्रभु हरषे बंधु समेत। परम रम्य आरामु यहु जो रामहि सुख देत॥२२७॥
Meaning
Both Lord Śrī Rāma and His brother Lakṣmaṇa were delighted to behold the garden with its lake. Most lovely must have been that garden which delighted even Śrī Rāma (delighter of the world)! (227)
