# Bal Kand · Doha 304

**चौ०** 
> मंगल सगुन सुगम सब ताकें। सगुन ब्रह्म सुंदर सुत जाकें॥  
> राम सरिस बरु दुलहिनि सीता। समधी दसरथु जनकु पुनीता॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> सुनि अस ब्याहु सगुन सब नाचे। अब कीन्हे बिरंचि हम साँचे॥  
> एहि बिधि कीन्ह बरात पयाना। हय गय गाजहिं हने निसाना॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> आवत जानि भानुकुल केतू। सरितन्हि जनक बँधाए सेतू॥  
> बीच बीच बर बास बनाए। सुरपुर सरिस संपदा छाए॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> असन सयन बर बसन सुहाए। पावहिं सब निज निज मन भाए॥  
> नित नूतन सुख लखि अनुकूले। सकल बरातिन्ह मंदिर भूले॥४॥

Meaning: Auspicious omens easily occur to him who has God in a manifested form as his own son. In the marriage which was going to take place, the bridegroom was no other than Śrī Rāma, and Sītā Herself was the bride; while the pious Daśaratha and Janaka were the parents of the bridegroom and the bride, respectively. (1)

Hearing of this marriage all good omens danced in merriment and said, “It is now that the Creator has proved us to be true.” In this way the procession set forth amidst the neighing of horses, the trumpeting of elephants and the beat of kettledrums. (2)

Learning that the chief of the solar race, King Daśaratha, was already on the way, King Janaka had the rivers bridged, and got beautiful rest-houses erected at different stages, which vied in magnificence with the city of immortals (Amarāvatī), (3)

and in which members of the bridegroom’s party were supplied with excellent food, beds and clothing, each according to his own taste. Finding ever new pleasures agreeable to themselves, all the members of the marriage party forgot their own homes. (4)

**दो०** 
> आवत जानि बरात बर सुनि गहगहे निसान।  
> सजि गज रथ पदचर तुरग लेन चले अगवान॥३०४॥

Meaning: When it was learnt that the marriage procession was approaching and the tempestuous beat of kettledrums was heard, an advance welcome-party went out to receive it with elephants, chariots, footmen and horses duly equipped. (304)
