Doha 302
सहित बसिष्ठ सोह नृप कैसें। सुर गुर संग पुरंदर जैसें॥ करि कुल रीति बेद बिधि राऊ। देखि सबहि सब भाँति बनाऊ॥ १॥
सुमिरि रामु गुर आयसु पाई। चले महीपति संख बजाई॥ हरषे बिबुध बिलोकि बराता। बरषहिं सुमन सुमंगल दाता॥२॥
भयउ कोलाहल हय गय गाजे। ब्योम बरात बाजने बाजे॥ सुर नर नारि सुमंगल गाईं। सरस राग बाजहिं सहनाईं॥३॥
घंट घंटि धुनि बरनि न जाहीं। सरव करहिं पाइक फहराहीं॥ करहिं बिदूषक कौतुक नाना। हास कुसल कल गान सुजाना॥४॥
Meaning
In the company of Vasiṣṭha the king shone forth as Indra, the lord of celestials, by the side of his preceptor Bṛhaspati. After performing all the rites sanctioned by family usage or prescribed by the Vedas and seeing everyone fully equipped for the journey, (1) remembering Śrī Rāma, and after receiving the permission of his preceptor, he sallied forth to the blowing of the conch-shell. The immortals rejoiced to see the marriage procession and rained down flowers full of auspicious blessings. (2) There was a confused din of horses neighing, elephants trumpeting and playing of music both in the heavens and in the procession. Human and celestial dames alike sang festal melodies, while clarionets were played in sweet accord. (3) There was an indescribable clamour of bells, both large and small. The footmen leaped and danced, displaying exercises of various kinds. Jesters, proficient in pleasantry and expert in singing melodious songs, practised all kinds of buffoonery. (4)
तुरग नचावहिं कुअँर बर अकनि मृदंग निसान। नागर नट चितवहिं चकित डगहिं न ताल बँधान॥३०२॥
Meaning
Gallant princes made their steeds curvet to the measured beat of tabors and kettledrums; accomplished dancers noted with surprise that they never made a step out of time. (302)
