Doha 269
देखत भृगुपति बेषु कराला । उठे सकल भय बिकल भुआला ॥ पितु समेत कहि कहि निज नामा । लगे करन सब दंड प्रनामा ॥ १ ॥
जेहि सुभायँ चितवहिं हितु जानी । सो जानइ जनु आइ खुटानी ॥ जनक बहोरि आइ सिरु नावा । सीय बोलाइ प्रनामु करावा ॥ २ ॥
आसिष दीन्हि सखीं हरषानीं । निज समाज लै गईं सयानीं ॥ बिस्वामित्रु मिले पुनि आई। पद सरोज मेले दोउ भाई॥ ३ ॥
रामु लखनु दसरथ के ढोटा। दीन्हि असीस देखि भल जोटा॥ रामहि चितइ रहे थकि लोचन। रूप अपार मार मद मोचन॥४॥
Meaning
Beholding the frightful figure of Paraśurāma the kings all rose in consternation; and mentioning his own as well as his father’s name, each fell prostrate on the ground before him. (1) Even he on whom Paraśurāma cast a casual look in a natural way thought the sands of his life had run out. Then came Janaka and bowed his head; and sending for Sītā, he let Her pay homage to the sage. (2) Her companions rejoiced when Paraśurāma bestowed his blessing on Her, and sensible that they were, took Her where the other ladies were. Next came Viśvāmitra, who met him and let the two brothers make obeisance at his lotus feet, (3) saying that they were King Daśaratha’s sons, Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa by name; seeing the graceful pair, he blessed them. His eyes were rivetted on Śrī Rāma’s incomparable beauty, which would humble the pride of Cupid himself. (4)
बहुरि बिलोकि बिदेह सन कहहु काह अति भीर। पूँछत जानि अजान जिमि ब्यापेउ कोपु सरीर॥२६९॥
Meaning
Then he looked around, and though knowing everything, he asked Janaka, like one ignorant, “Tell me, what has attracted all this crowd here?” And as he spoke thus, wrath took possession of his whole being. (269)
