# Bal Kand · Doha 303

Arrival of the marriage procession and its reception etc., at Janakapura

**चौ०** 
> बनइ न बरनत बनी बराता। होहिं सगुन सुंदर सुभदाता॥  
> चारा चाषु बाम दिसि लेई। मनहुँ सकल मंगल कहि देई॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> दाहिन काग सुखेत सुहावा। नकुल दरसु सब काहूँ पावा॥  
> सानुकूल बह त्रिबिध बयारी। सघट सबाल आव बर नारी॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> लोवा फिरि फिरि दरसु देखावा। सुरभी सनमुख सिसुहि पिआवा॥  
> मृगमाला फिरि दाहिनि आई। मंगल गन जनु दीन्हि देखाई॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> 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)

**दो०** 
> 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)
