# Bal Kand · Doha 308

**चौ०** 
> मुनिहि दंडवत कीन्ह महीसा। बार बार पद रज धरि सीसा॥  
> कौसिक राउ लिए उर लाई। कहि असीस पूछी कुसलाई॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> पुनि दंडवत करत दोउ भाई। देखि नृपति उर सुखु न समाई॥  
> सुत हियँ लाइ दुसह दुख मेटे। मृतक सरीर प्रान जनु भेंटे॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> पुनि बसिष्ठ पद सिर तिन्ह नाए। प्रेम मुदित मुनिबर उर लाए॥  
> बिप्र बृंद बंदे दुहुँ भाईं। मनभावती असीसें पाईं॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> भरत सहानुज कीन्ह प्रनामा। लिए उठाइ लाइ उर रामा॥  
> हरषे लखन देखि दोउ भ्राता। मिले प्रेम परिपूरित गाता॥४॥

Meaning: The King prostrated himself before the sage, placing the dust of the latter’s feet on his head again and again. Viśvāmitra pressed the king to his bosom, blessed him and inquired after his welfare. (1)

When King Daśaratha saw the two brothers prostrating themselves, he could not contain himself with joy. Pressing the boys to his bosom he allayed the unbearable pangs of separation and looked like a dead restored to life. (2)

Śrī Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa then bowed their head at Vasiṣṭha’s feet and the great sage embraced them in the ecstasy of love. The two brothers next bowed before all the Brāhmaṇas and in turn received their cherished blessings. (3)

Bharata and his younger brother Śatrughna greeted Śrī Rāma, who lifted them and embraced them. Lakṣmaṇa rejoiced to see the two brothers, Bharata and Śatrughna, and as he embraced them, his limbs were throbbing with emotion. (4)

**दो०** 
> पुरजन परिजन जातिजन जाचक मंत्री मीत।  
> मिले जथाबिधि सबहि प्रभु परम कृपाल बिनीत॥३०८॥

Meaning: The most gracious and unassuming Lord Śrī Rāma greeted everyone, including the citizens, attendants, kinsmen, seekers, ministers and friends in a befitting manner. (308)
