# Bal Kand · Doha 339

**चौ०** 
> बहुबिधि भूप सुता समुझाईं। नारिधरमु कुलरीति सिखाईं॥  
> दासीं दास दिए बहुतेरे। सुचि सेवक जे प्रिय सिय केरे॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> सीय चलत ब्याकुल पुरबासी। होहिं सगुन सुभ मंगल रासी॥  
> भूसुर सचिव समेत समाजा। संग चले पहुँचावन राजा॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> समय बिलोकि बाजने बाजे। रथ गज बाजि बरातिन्ह साजे॥  
> दसरथ बिप्र बोलि सब लीन्हे। दान मान परिपूरन कीन्हे॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> चरन सरोज धूरि धरि सीसा। मुदित महीपति पाइ असीसा॥  
> सुमिरि गजाननु कीन्ह पयाना। मंगलमूल सगुन भए नाना॥४॥

Meaning: King Janaka admonished his daughters in ways more than one and instructed them in the duties of a woman as well as in family customs. He bestowed upon Sītā a good many male-servants and maid-servants, who had been her trusted and favourite attendants. (1)

As Sītā proceeded on Her journey, the citizens felt miserable; while good omens, which were all harbingers of blessings, appeared. Accompanied by a host of Brāhmaṇas and his counsellors, the king himself followed (his daughters) to escort them. (2)

When it was found that the time of departure had come, music began to be played and the members of the bridegrooms’ party made ready their chariots, elephants and horses. King Daśaratha summoned all the Brāhmaṇas and sated them with gifts and honour. (3)

The king placed the dust of their lotus-feet on his head and was glad to receive their benediction. Invoking Śrī Gaṇeśa, he set out on his journey when many good omens, which were the roots of felicity, occurred. (4)

**दो०** 
> सुर प्रसून बरषहिं हरषि करहिं अपछरा गान।  
> चले अवधपति अवधपुर मुदित बजाइ निसान॥३३९॥

Meaning: The gods gladly rained down flowers and heavenly nymphs sang, as the lord of Ayodhyā joyfully set forth for his capital amidst the beat of kettledrums. (339)
