# Bal Kand · Doha 236

**चौ०** 
> सेवत तोहि सुलभ फल चारी। बरदायनी पुरारि पिआरी॥  
> देबि पूजि पद कमल तुम्हारे। सुर नर मुनि सब होहिं सुखारे॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> मोर मनोरथु जानहु नीकें। बसहु सदा उर पुर सबही कें॥  
> कीन्हेउँ प्रगट न कारन तेहीं। अस कहि चरन गहे बैदेहीं॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> बिनय प्रेम बस भई भवानी। खसी माल मूरति मुसुकानी॥  
> सादर सियँ प्रसादु सिर धरेऊ। बोली गौरि हरषु हियँ भरेऊ॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> सुनु सिय सत्य असीस हमारी। पूजिहि मन कामना तुम्हारी॥  
> नारद बचन सदा सुचि साचा। सो बरु मिलिहि जाहिं मनु राचा॥४॥

Meaning: “The fourfold rewards of life (viz., religious merit, worldly riches, sensuous enjoyment and Liberation) are easily attainable through Your service, O bestower of boons, beloved of Śiva (the Slayer of Tripura)! All who adore Your lotus-feet, O Shining One, attain happiness, be they gods, men or sages. (1)

“You know well my heart’s longing since You ever dwell in the habitat of every heart. That is why I have refrained from openly declaring it.” With these words Jānakī clasped Her feet. (2)

Bhavānī was overwhelmed by Her humbleness and devotion; the wreath on the image dropped and the idol smiled. Sītā reverently placed the divine gift (the garland) on Her head. Gaurī’s heart was filled with delight while She spoke, (3)

“Hear, Sītā, my infallible blessing: Your heart’s desire shall be accomplished. Nārada’s words are ever significant and true; the suitor on whom Your heart is set shall, indeed, be Yours. (4)

**छं०** 
> मनु जाहिं राचेउ मिलिहि सो बरु सहज सुंदर साँवरो।  
> करुना निधान सुजान सीलु सनेहु जानत रावरो॥  
> एहि भाँति गौरि असीस सुनि सिय सहित हियँ हरषीं अली।  
> तुलसी भवानिहि पूजि पुनि पुनि मुदित मन मंदिर चली॥

Meaning: “The dark-complexioned and naturally handsome suitor, of whom You are enamoured, shall indeed be Yours. The gracious and omniscient Lord is aware of Your fidelity and love.” Sītā and all Her companions were delighted at heart to hear this blessing from Gaurī’s lips. Worshipping Goddess Bhavānī again and again, Sītā, says Tulasīdāsa, returned to Her abode, rejoicing in Her heart.

**सो०** 
> जानि गौरि अनुकूल सिय हिय हरषु न जाइ कहि।  
> मंजुल मंगल मूल बाम अंग फरकन लगे॥२३६॥

Meaning: Finding Gaurī favourably disposed towards Her, Sītā was enormously glad at heart, inexplicable in words. Her left limbs began to throb, indicating Her good fortune. (236)
