Doha 311
बिबिध भाँति होइहि पहुनाई। प्रिय न काहि अस सासुर माई॥ तब तब राम लखनहि निहारी। होइहहिं सब पुर लोग सुखारी॥१॥
सखि जस राम लखन कर जोटा। तैसेइ भूप संग दुइ ढोटा॥ स्याम गौर सब अंग सुहाए। ते सब कहहिं देखि जे आए॥२॥
कहा एक मैं आजु निहारे। जनु बिरंचि निज हाथ सँवारे॥ भरतु रामही की अनुहारी। सहसा लखि न सकहिं नर नारी॥३॥
लखनु सत्रुसूदनु एकरूपा। नख सिख ते सब अंग अनूपा॥ मन भावहिं मुख बरनि न जाहीं। उपमा कहुँ त्रिभुवन कोउ नाहीं॥४॥
Meaning
“There will be hospitality of every kind; who, dear one, would not love such in-laws. On every such occasion all the people of the city will be happy to behold Śrī Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa. (1) “King Daśaratha, my friends, has brought with him two other lads, exactly resembling the pair of Śrī Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa. One dark, the other fair, both charming of every limb; so declare all those who have seen them.” (2) Said another, “I saw them today: it appeared to me as though the Creator had fashioned them with his own hands. Bharata is an exact copy of Śrī Rāma; no man or woman can distinguish them at first sight. (3) “Lakṣmaṇa and Śatrughna are indistinguishable from each other, peerless in every limb from head to foot. The four brothers attract the mind that cannot be described in words, for they have no match in all the three worlds.” (4)
उपमा न कोउ कह दास तुलसी कतहुँ कबि कोबिद कहैं। बल बिनय बिद्या सील सोभा सिंधु इन्ह से एइ अहैं॥ पुर नारि सकल पसारि अंचल बिधिहि बचन सुनावहीं। ब्याहिअहुँ चारिउ भाइ एहिं पुर हम सुमंगल गावहीं॥
Meaning
Says Tulasīdāsa: “They have no comparison anywhere, so declare the poets and wise men. Oceans of strength, modesty, learning, amiability and beauty, they are their own compeers.” Spreading out the corner (आँचल) of their sari (as beggar-women do while asking for alms), all the women of the city made entreaties to the Creator: “May all the four brothers be married in this city and may we sing charming nuptial songs!”
कहहिं परस्पर नारि बारि बिलोचन पुलक तन। सखि सबु करब पुरारि पुन्य पयोनिधि भूप दोउ॥३११॥
Meaning
Said the damsels to one another, with tears in their eyes and the hair on their body standing erect, “Friends, Śiva, the Slayer of the demon Tripura, will accomplish everything: the two kings are such boundless oceans of piety.” (311)
