# Bal Kand · Doha 255

**चौ०** 
> नृपन्ह केरि आसा निसि नासी। बचन नखत अवली न प्रकासी॥  
> मानी महिप कुमुद सकुचाने। कपटी भूप उलूक लुकाने॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> भए बिसोक कोक मुनि देवा। बरिसहिं सुमन जनावहिं सेवा॥  
> गुर पद बंदि सहित अनुरागा। राम मुनिन्ह सन आयसु मागा॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> सहजहिं चले सकल जग स्वामी। मत्त मंजु बर कुंजर गामी॥  
> चलत राम सब पुर नर नारी। पुलक पूरि तन भए सुखारी॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> बंदि पितर सुर सुकृत सँभारे। जौं कछु पुन्य प्रभाउ हमारे॥  
> तौ सिवधनु मृनाल की नाईं। तोरहुँ रामु गनेस गोसाईं॥४॥

Meaning: The hopes of the rival kings vanished as night and their boasts died away like the serried stars. The arrogant princes shrivelled up like the lilies and the wicked kings shrank away like owls. (1)

Sages and gods, like the Cakravāka bird, were rid of their sorrow and showered flowers in token of their homage. Affectionately reverencing the Guru’s feet, Śrī Rāma asked leave of the sages. (2)

The Lord of all creation, Śrī Rāma, then stepped forth in His natural grace with the tread of a noble and beautiful elephant in rut. As Śrī Rāma moved ahead all men and women of the city rejoiced and thrilled all over their body. (3)

Invoking the manes and gods and recalling their own past good deeds they prayed: “If our religious merits are of any value, O Lord Gaṇeśa, may Śrī Rāma snap the bow of Śiva as if it were a lotus-stalk.” (4)

**दो०** 
> रामहि प्रेम समेत लखि सखिन्ह समीप बोलाइ।  
> सीता मातु सनेह बस बचन कहइ बिलखाइ॥२५५॥

Meaning: Lovingly gazing on Śrī Rāma and bidding her companions draw near, Sītā’s mother spoke words full of anguish out of affection: (255)
