Doha 303
Arrival of the marriage procession and its reception etc., at Janakapura
बनइ न बरनत बनी बराता। होहिं सगुन सुंदर सुभदाता॥ चारा चाषु बाम दिसि लेई। मनहुँ सकल मंगल कहि देई॥१॥
दाहिन काग सुखेत सुहावा। नकुल दरसु सब काहूँ पावा॥ सानुकूल बह त्रिबिध बयारी। सघट सबाल आव बर नारी॥२॥
लोवा फिरि फिरि दरसु देखावा। सुरभी सनमुख सिसुहि पिआवा॥ मृगमाला फिरि दाहिनि आई। मंगल गन जनु दीन्हि देखाई॥३॥
छेमकरी कह छेम बिसेषी। स्यामा बाम सुतरु पर देखी॥ सनमुख आयउ दधि अरु मीना। कर पुस्तक दुइ बिप्र प्रबीना॥४॥
Meaning
The splendour of the marriage procession was more than one could describe. Fair and auspicious omens occurred. The blue-necked jay picked up food on the left and heralded, as it were, all good fortune. (1) On a luxuriant field on the right became visible a crow, and a mongoose was seen by all. A soft, cool and fragrant breeze was blowing in a favourable direction; blessed ‘Suhāgina’ women (ladies whose husbands are living) appeared with filled up pitchers and babies in their arms. (2) A fox turned round and showed itself again and again and a cow suckled its calf in front of the procession; a herd of deer came round to the right, as if good omens appeared in visible form. (3) A Brāhmaṇi-kite promised great blessings; and a Śyāmā bird was observed on an auspicious tree to the left. A man bearing curds and fish and two learned Brāhmaṇas, each with a book in his hand, came from the opposite direction. (4)
मंगलमय कल्यानमय अभिमत फल दातार। जनु सब साचे होन हित भए सगुन एक बार॥३०३॥
Meaning
All kinds of blessed and auspicious omens and those conducive to desired results occurred all at once as if to prove themselves to be true. (303)
