Doha 244
कटि तूनीर पीत पट बाँधें। कर सर धनुष बाम बर काँधें॥ पीत जग्य उपबीत सुहाए। नख सिख मंजु महाछबि छाए॥१॥
देखि लोग सब भए सुखारे। एकटक लोचन चलत न तारे॥ हरषे जनकु देखि दोउ भाई। मुनि पद कमल गहे तब जाई॥२॥
करि बिनती निज कथा सुनाई। रंग अवनि सब मुनिहि देखाई॥ जहँ जहँ जाहिं कुअँर बर दोऊ। तहँ तहँ चकित चितव सबु कोऊ॥३॥
निज निज रुख रामहि सबु देखा। कोउ न जान कछु मरमु बिसेषा॥ भलि रचना मुनि नृप सन कहेऊ। राजाँ मुदित महासुख लहेऊ॥४॥
Meaning
They held at their back a quiver fastened with a yellow cloth wrapped round their waist and an arrow in their right hand; while a bow and a charming sacred thread, also of yellow tint, were slung across their left shoulder. In short, the two princes were lovely from head to foot and were the very embodiments of great charm. (1) Everyone who saw them felt delighted; people gazed at them with unwinking eyes and the pupils of their eyes too did not move. King Janaka himself rejoiced to behold the two brothers; presently he went and clasped the sage’s lotus-feet. (2) Paying him homage he related to him his story and showed him around the whole arena. Whithersoever the two elegant princes betook themselves, all regarded them with wonder. (3) Every man found Śrī Rāma facing himself, but none could perceive the great (divine) mystery behind it. The sage told the king that the pavilion was extremely charming; the king was highly pleased and immensely satisfied to hear this. (4)
सब मंचन्ह तें मंचु एक सुंदर बिसद बिसाल। मुनि समेत दोउ बंधु तहँ बैठारे महिपाल॥२४४॥
Meaning
Of all the tiers of raised seats one was particularly beautiful, bright and spacious, above all the rest; the king seated the two brothers alongwith the sage thereon. (244)
