# Bal Kand · Doha 246

Sītā’s entry into the pavilion

**चौ०** 
> ब्यर्थ मरहु जनि गाल बजाई। मन मोदकन्हि कि भूख बुताई॥  
> सिख हमारि सुनि परम पुनीता। जगदंबा जानहु जियँ सीता॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> जगत पिता रघुपतिहि बिचारी। भरि लोचन छबि लेहु निहारी॥  
> सुंदर सुखद सकल गुन रासी। ए दोउ बंधु संभु उर बासी॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> सुधा समुद्र समीप बिहाई। मृगजलु निरखि मरहु कत धाई॥  
> करहु जाइ जा कहुँ जोइ भावा। हम तौ आजु जनम फलु पावा॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> अस कहि भले भूप अनुरागे। रूप अनूप बिलोकन लागे॥  
> देखहिं सुर नभ चढ़े बिमाना। बरषहिं सुमन करहिं कल गाना॥४॥

Meaning: “Do not thus brag and throw away your lives in vain: hunger cannot be satiated with imaginary sweets. Listen to our most salutary advice: be inwardly assured that Sītā is no other than the Mother of the universe. (1)

“And recognizing Śrī Raghunātha as the father of the universe, feast your eyes to their fill on His beauty. Fountains of joy and embodiments of all virtues, these two charming brothers have their abode in Śiva’s heart. (2)

“Leaving the ocean of nectar, which is at hand, why should you run in pursuit of a mirage and court death? Or else do whatever pleases each one of you; we, for our part, have reaped today the fruit of our human birth.” (3)

Saying so, the noble Kings, full of affection, turned their gaze on the incomparable beauty of Śrī Rāma; while in heaven the gods witnessed the spectacle from their aerial cars, and raining down flowers, sang in melodious strains. (4)

**दो०** 
> जानि सुअवसरु सीय तब पठई जनक बोलाइ।  
> चतुर सखीं सुंदर सकल सादर चलीं लवाइ॥२४६॥

Meaning: Finding it an appropriate occasion Janaka then sent for Sītā, and Her companions, all lovely and accomplished, escorted Her with due honour. (246)
