Doha 294
सुनि बोले गुर अति सुखु पाई। पुन्य पुरुष कहुँ महि सुख छाई॥ जिमि सरिता सागर महुँ जाहीं। जद्यपि ताहि कामना नाहीं॥१॥
तिमि सुख संपति बिनहिं बोलाएँ। धरमसील पहिं जाहिं सुभाएँ॥ तुम्ह गुर बिप्र धेनु सुर सेबी। तसि पुनीत कौसल्या देबी॥२॥
सुकृती तुम्ह समान जग माहीं। भयउ न है कोउ होनेउ नाहीं॥ तुम्ह ते अधिक पुन्य बड़ काकें। राजन राम सरिस सुत जाकें॥३॥
बीर बिनीत धरम ब्रत धारी। गुन सागर बर बालक चारी॥ तुम्ह कहुँ सर्ब काल कल्याना। सजहु बरात बजाइ निसाना॥४॥
Meaning
The Guru was highly pleased to hear the news and said, “To a virtuous man the world abounds in happiness. As rivers run into the sea, although the latter has no craving for them, (1) “so joy and prosperity come unasked and of their own accord to a pious soul. Just as you are given to the service of your preceptor, the Brāhmaṇas and cows as well as of gods, Queen Kausalyā is also devout in the same way. (2) “A pious soul like you there has never been, nor is, nor shall be in this world. Who can be more blessed than you, O king, who have a son like Rāma. (3) “And whose four worthy children are all valiant, submissive, true to their vow of piety and oceans of goodness. You are blessed indeed for all time; therefore, arrange the marriage procession to the beat of kettledrums, (4)
चलहु बेगि सुनि गुर बचन भलेहिं नाथ सिरु नाइ। भूपति गवने भवन तब दूतन्ह बासु देवाइ॥२९४॥
Meaning
“and proceed quickly.” On hearing these words of the preceptor the king bowed his head and said, “Very well, my lord!” and after assigning lodgings to the messengers, returned to his palace. (294)
