Doha 242
बिदुषन्ह प्रभु बिराटमय दीसा। बहु मुख कर पग लोचन सीसा॥ जनक जाति अवलोकहिं कैसें। सजन सगे प्रिय लागहिं जैसें॥१॥
सहित बिदेह बिलोकहिं रानी। सिसु सम प्रीति न जाति बखानी॥ जोगिन्ह परम तत्त्वमय भासा। सांत सुद्ध सम सहज प्रकासा॥२॥
हरिभगतन्ह देखे दोउ भ्राता। इष्टदेव इव सब सुख दाता॥ रामहि चितव भायँ जेहि सीया। सो सनेहु सुखु नहिं कथनीया॥३॥
उर अनुभवति न कहि सक सोऊ। कवन प्रकार कहै कबि कोऊ॥ एहि बिधि रहा जाहि जस भाऊ। तेहिं तस देखेउ कोसलराऊ॥४॥
Meaning
The wise saw the Lord in His cosmic form, with many faces, hands, feet, eyes and heads. And how did He appear to Janaka’s kinsmen? Like one’s own beloved relation! (1) The queen, no less than the king, regarded Him with inexpressible love like a dear child. To the Yogīs (those ever united with God) He shone forth as no other than the highest truth—placid, unsullied, equipoised, and resplendent by its very nature. (2) The devotees of Śrī Hari beheld the two brothers as their beloved deity, the fountain of all joy. The emotion of love and joy with which Sītā gazed on Śrī Rāma was ineffable. (3) She felt the emotion in Her heart, but could not articulate it; how, then, can a poet describe it? In this way everyone regarded the Lord of Ayodhyā, Śrī Rāma, according to the attitude of mind each had towards Him. (4)
राजत राज समाज महुँ कोसलराज किसोर। सुंदर स्यामल गौर तन बिस्व बिलोचन चोर॥२४२॥
Meaning
Thus shone in the assembly of kings the two lovely princes of the King of Ayodhyā, the one dark and the other fair of complexion, catching the eyes of the whole universe. (242)
