# Bal Kand · Doha 333

**चौ०** 
> पुरबासी सुनि चलिहि बराता। बूझत बिकल परस्पर बाता॥  
> सत्य गवनु सुनि सब बिलखाने। मनहुँ साँझ सरसिज सकुचाने॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> जहँ जहँ आवत बसे बराती। तहँ तहँ सिद्ध चला बहु भाँती॥  
> बिबिध भाँति मेवा पकवाना। भोजन साजु न जाइ बखाना॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> भरि भरि बसहँ अपार कहारा। पठईं जनक अनेक सुसारा॥  
> तुरग लाख रथ सहस पचीसा। सकल सँवारे नख अरु सीसा॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> मत्त सहस दस सिंधुर साजे। जिन्हहि देखि दिसिकुंजर लाजे॥  
> कनक बसन मनि भरि भरि जाना। महिषीं धेनु बस्तु बिधि नाना॥४॥

Meaning: When the people of the city heard that the bridegrooms’ party was about to leave, they anxiously asked one another if it was a fact. When they learnt that the departure of the guests was certain, they were all sad in the same way as lotuses get shrivelled up in the evening. (1)

Provisions of various kinds were sent to all those places where the marriage-party had halted while coming from Ayodhyā. Dry fruits and confections of all kinds and other articles of food, too numerous to be mentioned, (2)

were sent by Janaka on the back of oxen and through innumerable porters along with a number of beautiful bedsteads. He also sent 1,00,000 horses and 25,000 chariots, all decorated from top to bottom. (3)

10,000 adorned elephants in rut, that put to shame the elephants guarding the eight quarters, besides cartloads of gold, wearing apparel and jewels and even so, she-buffaloes, cows and many other articles of various kinds. (4)

**दो०** 
> दाइज अमित न सकिअ कहि दीन्ह बिदेहँ बहोरि।  
> जो अवलोकत लोकपति लोक संपदा थोरि॥३३३॥

Meaning: In this way King Janaka gave once more a dowry which was immeasurable and beyond all description, and before which the wealth possessed by the lords of the different worlds looked small. (333)
