Doha 312
एहि बिधि सकल मनोरथ करहीं। आनँद उमगि उमगि उर भरहीं॥ जे नृप सीय स्वयंबर आए। देखि बंधु सब तिन्ह सुख पाए॥ १॥
कहत राम जसु बिसद बिसाला। निज निज भवन गए महिपाला॥ गए बीति कछु दिन एहि भाँती। प्रमुदित पुरजन सकल बराती॥२॥
मंगल मूल लगन दिनु आवा। हिम रितु अगहनु मासु सुहावा॥ ग्रह तिथि नखतु जोगु बर बारू। लगन सोधि बिधि कीन्ह बिचारू॥३॥
पठै दीन्हि नारद सन सोई। गनी जनक के गनकन्ह जोई॥ सुनी सकल लोगन्ह यह बाता। कहहिं जोतिषी आहिं बिधाता॥४॥
Meaning
In this way they all prayed and in their greater and still greater enthusiasm filled their hearts with the bliss of happiness. The princes who had come as Sītā’s suitors too rejoiced to see the four brothers, (1) and they returned to their respective homes extolling Śrī Rāma’s all-pure and magnificent glory. Thus a few days passed to the delight of the citizens and all the members of the marriage party. (2) At length the blessed day of wedding arrived; it was the delightful month of Mārgaśīrṣa and the beginning of the cold season. Having carefully examined and determined the propitious nature of the planets, date, asterism, the conjunction of the stars, the day of the week and the hour of the wedding, (3) Brahmā, the Creator, sent the note concerning the hour of the wedding through Nārada; it was just the same that Janaka’s astrologers had already calculated. When all the people heard of this, they observed, “The astrologers of this place are so many Brahmās, as it were.” (4)
धेनुधूरि बेला बिमल सकल सुमंगल मूल। बिप्रन्ह कहेउ बिदेह सन जानि सगुन अनुकूल॥३१२॥
Meaning
The most auspicious and sacred hour before sunset (which is the time when cows generally return home from pasture, and is consequently marked by clouds of dust raised by their hoofs) arrived; perceiving propitious omens, the Brāhmaṇas apprised King Janaka of its approach. (312)
