Doha 285
Janaka’s despatching of messengers to Ayodhyā and departure of the marriage procession from there
जय रघुबंस बनज बन भानू। गहन दनुज कुल दहन कृसानू॥ जय सुर बिप्र धेनु हितकारी। जय मद मोह कोह भ्रम हारी॥१॥
बिनय सील करुना गुन सागर। जयति बचन रचना अति नागर॥ सेवक सुखद सुभग सब अंगा। जय सरीर छबि कोटि अनंगा॥२॥
करौं काह मुख एक प्रसंसा। जय महेस मन मानस हंसा॥ अनुचित बहुत कहेउँ अग्याता। छमहु छमामंदिर दोउ भ्राता॥३॥
कहि जय जय जय रघुकुलकेतू। भृगुपति गए बनहि तप हेतू॥ अपभयँ कुटिल महीप डेराने। जहँ तहँ कायर गवँहिं पराने॥४॥
Meaning
“Glory to Śrī Rāma, who delights Raghū’s race even as the sun delights a cluster of lotuses! Glory to the One that like fire consumes the forest of the demon race! Glory to the Benefactor of gods, Brāhmaṇas and cows! Glory to Him who takes away pride, ignorance, passion and delusion! (1) “Glory to Him who is an ocean of humility, amiability, compassion and goodness and a past master in the art of speech. Glory to the Delighter of His servants and to Him who is graceful of every limb and whose form possesses the beauty of millions of Cupids! (2) “How can I with one tongue expatiate on Your glories? Glory to Him who sports in the mind of the great Lord Śiva as a swan in the Mānasarovara lake! In my ignorance I have said much that was unseemly; therefore, pardon me, both the brothers, embodiments of forgiveness that You are. (3) “Glory, glory, all glory to the Chief of Raghu’s race!” So saying, Paraśurāma, the lord of Bhṛgus, withdrew to the forest to practise penance. The wicked kings were all seized with their own (imaginary) fears and the cowards quietly fled in all directions. (4)
देवन्ह दीन्हीं दुंदुभीं प्रभु पर बरषहिं फूल। हरषे पुर नर नारि सब मिटी मोहमय सूल॥२८५॥
Meaning
The gods beat their kettledrums and rained down flowers on the Lord. All the people of the city rejoiced and their heart’s agony, born of ignorance, was gone. (285)
