Doha 306

चौ०

बरषि सुमन सुर सुंदरि गावहिं। मुदित देव दुंदुभीं बजावहिं॥ बस्तु सकल राखीं नृप आगें। बिनय कीन्हि तिन्ह अति अनुरागें॥१॥

चौ०

प्रेम समेत रायँ सबु लीन्हा। भै बकसीस जाचकन्हि दीन्हा॥ करि पूजा मान्यता बड़ाई। जनवासे कहुँ चले लवाई॥२॥

चौ०

बसन बिचित्र पाँवड़े परहीं। देखि धनदु धन मदु परिहरहीं॥ अति सुंदर दीन्हेउ जनवासा। जहँ सब कहुँ सब भाँति सुपासा॥३॥

चौ०

जानी सियँ बरात पुर आई। कछु निज महिमा प्रगटि जनाई॥ हृदयँ सुमिरि सब सिद्धि बोलाईं। भूप पहुनई करन पठाईं॥४॥

Meaning

Celestial damsels rained down flowers and sang, while the joyous gods beat kettledrums. The members of the welcomers-contingent placed all the offerings before King Daśaratha and entreated him with an affectionate address. (1) The king lovingly accepted everything and distributed the offerings as presents among his own people, or bestowed them as alms on the suppliants. After due homage, reverence and courtesy, the welcomers-contingent conducted the marriage party to the lodgings set apart for them. (2) Gorgeous carpets were spread for the royal guests to walk upon, on seeing which Kubera (the god of wealth) was no longer proud of his wealth. Magnificent were the quarters assigned to the bridegroom’s party, which provided every kind of comfort to each guest. (3) When Sītā learnt that the marriage party had arrived in the city, She manifested Her glory to some extent. By Her very thought She summoned all the Siddhis (super-sensuous powers personified) and deputed them to wait upon the king. (4)

दो०

सिधि सब सिय आयसु अकनि गईं जहाँ जनवास। लिएँ संपदा सकल सुख सुरपुर भोग बिलास॥३०६॥

Meaning

Hearing Sītā’s command, the Siddhis repaired to the guests’ apartments, taking with them all kinds of riches, comforts as well as the enjoyments and luxuries of heaven. (306)
