Doha 265
पुर अरु ब्योम बाजने बाजे। खल भए मलिन साधु सब राजे॥ सुर किंनर नर नाग मुनीसा। जय जय जय कहि देहिं असीसा॥१॥
नाचहिं गावहिं बिबुध बधूटीं । बार बार कुसुमांजलि छूटीं ॥ जहँ तहँ बिप्र बेदधुनि करहीं । बंदी बिरिदावलि उच्चरहीं ॥ २ ॥
महि पाताल नाक जसु ब्यापा । राम बरी सिय भंजेउ चापा ॥ करहिं आरती पुर नर नारी । देहिं निछावरि बित्त बिसारी ॥ ३ ॥
सोहति सीय राम कै जोरी । छबि सिंगारु मनहुँ एक ठोरी ॥ सखीं कहहिं प्रभुपद गहु सीता । करति न चरन परस अति भीता ॥ ४ ॥
Meaning
Bands were being played both in the city and in the heavens; while the wicked were downcast, the virtuous beamed with joy. Gods, Kinnaras, men, Nāgas and great sages uttered blessings with shouts of victory. (1) Celestial dames danced and sang and handfuls of flowers were showered again and again. Here and there the Brāhmaṇas recited the Vedas, while panegyrists sang glories. (2) The glad tidings spread throughout the earth, the subterranean regions and the heavens that Śrī Rāma had broken the bow and won the hand of Sītā. The people of the city waved lights in adoration, and regardless of their means they showered gifts in profusion as an act of invocation of Divine blessings on the couple. (3) The pair of Śrī Rāma and Sītā shone as if beauty and the sentiment of Love had met together in human form. Her companions urged Her, “Sītā, clasp your lord’s feet.” But Sītā was too afraid to touch His feet. (4)
गौतम तिय गति सुरति करि नहिं परसति पग पानि । मन बिहसे रघुबंसमनि प्रीति अलौकिक जानि ॥ २६५ ॥
Meaning
Remembering the fate of the sage Gautama’s wife, Ahalyā, She would not touch His feet with Her hands; Śrī Rāma, the Jewel of Raghu’s race, inwardly smiled to perceive Her transcendent love. (265)
