Doha 291
सुनि पाती पुलके दोउ भ्राता। अधिक सनेहु समात न गाता॥ प्रीति पुनीत भरत कै देखी। सकल सभाँ सुखु लहेउ बिसेषी॥१॥
तब नृप दूत निकट बैठारे। मधुर मनोहर बचन उचारे॥ भैआ कहहु कुसल दोउ बारे। तुम्ह नीकें निज नयन निहारे॥२॥
स्यामल गौर धरें धनु भाथा। बय किसोर कौसिक मुनि साथा॥ पहिचानहु तुम्ह कहहु सुभाऊ। प्रेम बिबस पुनि पुनि कह राऊ॥३॥
जा दिन तें मुनि गए लवाई। तब तें आजु साँचि सुधि पाई॥ कहहु बिदेह कवन बिधि जाने। सुनि प्रिय बचन दूत मुसुकाने॥४॥
Meaning
On hearing the letter the two brothers experienced a thrill of joy; their whole frame was bursting with an excess of emotion. The whole court was particularly delighted to see Bharata’s pure love. (1) The king then seated the messengers close by him and spoke to them in sweet and winsome tone: “Tell me, friends, are the two boys well? Have you carefully seen them with your own eyes? (2) “The one dark and the other fair of hue, they are equipped with bow and quiver and are of tender age and accompanied by sage Viśvāmitra. Do you recognize them? If so, tell me something about their temperament.” Overwhelmed with emotions the king put such questions again and again. (3) “From the day the sage took them away it is only today that I have received authentic news about them. Tell me how King Janaka was able to recognize them.” At these fond words the messengers smiled. (4)
सुनहु महीपति मुकुट मनि तुम्ह सम धन्य न कोउ। रामु लखनु जिन्ह के तनय बिस्व बिभूषन दोउ॥२९१॥
Meaning
“Listen, O crest-jewel of Kings: there is no one so blessed as you, who have for your sons Śrī Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa, the two splendid ornaments of the universe. (291)
