Doha 295
राजा सबु रनिवास बोलाई। जनक पत्रिका बाचि सुनाई॥ सुनि संदेसु सकल हरषानीं। अपर कथा सब भूप बखानीं॥१॥
प्रेम प्रफुल्लित राजहिं रानी। मनहुँ सिखिनि सुनि बारिद बानी॥ मुदित असीस देहिं गुर नारीं। अति आनंद मगन महतारीं॥२॥
लेहिं परस्पर अति प्रिय पाती। हृदयँ लगाइ जुड़ावहिं छाती॥ राम लखन कै कीरति करनी। बारहिं बार भूपबर बरनी॥३॥
मुनि प्रसादु कहि द्वार सिधाए। रानिन्ह तब महिदेव बोलाए॥ दिए दान आनंद समेता। चले बिप्रबर आसिष देता॥४॥
Meaning
The king then called all the ladies of the gynaeceum and read aloud Janaka’s letter to them. All rejoiced to hear the message and the king himself related the other tidings (which he had heard from the lips of the messengers). (1) Bursting with emotion the queens shone like pea-hens rejoicing at the rumbling of clouds. The preceptor’s wife and the wives of other elders in their joy invoked the blessings of heaven and the mothers of the four brothers were overwhelmed with ecstasy. (2) They took the most beloved letter from each other and pressing it to their bosom, soothed their heart. The great king recounted again and again the glory and exploits of both Śrī Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa. (3) Saying that it was all due to the sage’s grace, he came out. The queens then sent for the Brāhmaṇas and joyfully bestowed gifts on them. And the Brāhmaṇas returned to their homes conveying blessings. (4)
जाचक लिए हँकारि दीन्हि निछावरि कोटि बिधि। चिरु जीवहुँ सुत चारि चक्रबर्ति दसरत्थ के॥ २९५॥
Meaning
Next they called the beggars and lavished innumerable kinds of gifts on them. “Long live the four sons of Emperor Daśaratha!” (295)
