Doha 286
अति गहगहे बाजने बाजे। सबहिं मनोहर मंगल साजे॥ जूथ जूथ मिलि सुमुखि सुनयनीं। करहिं गान कल कोकिलबयनीं॥१॥
सुखु बिदेह कर बरनि न जाई। जन्मदरिद्र मनहुँ निधि पाई॥ बिगत त्रास भइ सीय सुखारी। जनु बिधु उदयँ चकोरकुमारी॥२॥
जनक कीन्ह कौसिकहि प्रनामा। प्रभु प्रसाद धनु भंजेउ रामा॥ मोहि कृतकृत्य कीन्ह दुहुँ भाईं। अब जो उचित सो कहिअ गोसाईं॥३॥
कह मुनि सुनु नरनाथ प्रबीना। रहा बिबाहु चाप आधीना॥ टूटतहीं धनु भयउ बिबाहू। सुर नर नाग बिदित सब काहू॥४॥
Meaning
There was a tumultuous playing of bands and everyone displayed charming and auspicious objects. Troops of fair-faced, bright-eyed damsels sang melodious songs in chorus, their voice resembling the sweet notes of the cuckoo. (1) Janaka’s joy was beyond description, as that of a born beggar who has found a treasure. Sītā was rid of Her fears and was as glad as the young of a Cakora bird at the rising of the moon. (2) Janaka made obeisance to Viśvāmitra and said, “It is due to your grace, my lord, that Śrī Rāma has been able to break the bow. The two brothers have accomplished my purpose; pray, tell me, Reverend Sir, what is to be done now.” (3) Said the sage, “Listen, wise king: the marriage depended on the bow, and took place directly the moment the bow was broken, as is well-known to all, including gods, human beings and Nāgas. (4)
तदपि जाइ तुम्ह करहु अब जथा बंस ब्यवहारु। बूझि बिप्र कुलबृद्ध गुर बेद बिदित आचारु॥२८६॥
Meaning
“Nevertheless you now go and perform according to the family usage whatever practices are prescribed in the Veda, after consulting the Brāhmaṇas, the elders of your family, and your own preceptor, Śatānanda. (286)
