Doha 310
जनक सुकृत मूरति बैदेही। दसरथ सुकृत रामु धरें देही॥ इन्ह सम काहुँ न सिव अवराधे। काहुँ न इन्ह समान फल लाधे॥१॥
इन्ह सम कोउ न भयउ जग माहीं। है नहिं कतहूँ होनेउ नाहीं॥ हम सब सकल सुकृत कै रासी। भए जग जनमि जनकपुर बासी॥२॥
जिन्ह जानकी राम छबि देखी। को सुकृती हम सरिस बिसेषी॥ पुनि देखब रघुबीर बिआहू। लेब भली बिधि लोचन लाहू॥३॥
कहहिं परसपर कोकिलबयनीं। एहि बिआहँ बड़ लाभु सुनयनीं॥ बड़ें भाग बिधि बात बनाई। नयन अतिथि होइहहिं दोउ भाई॥४॥
Meaning
“Jānakī is the manifestation of Janaka’s piety (Puṇya), and Śrī Rāma is Daśaratha’s virtue–personified. No one has worshipped Śiva with such devotion as these two kings, nor has anyone obtained such bountiful rewards as they have. (1) “No one has equalled them in this world, nor is there anyone to equal them anywhere, nor shall be. We are all repositories of all kinds of merits in that we have been born in this world as residents of Janaka’s capital. (2) “Who is so highly blessed as we, who have beheld the beauty of Jānakī and Śrī Rāma? And we will witness Śrī Rāma’s wedding and shall thereby richly reap the benefit of our eyes”. (3) Damsels with voice as sweet as the notes of the cuckoo whispered to one another, “O bright-eyed friends, we shall gain much by this union. By our great good-luck Providence has ordained things well: the two brothers shall often be the delight of our eyes. (4)
बारहिं बार सनेह बस जनक बोलाउब सीय। लेन आइहहिं बंधु दोउ कोटि काम कमनीय॥३१०॥
Meaning
“Time and again out of affection Janaka will send for Sītā (from Ayodhyā); and the two brothers, charming as millions of Cupids put together, will come to take her back. (310)
