# Bal Kand · Doha 340

**चौ०** 
> नृप करि बिनय महाजन फेरे। सादर सकल मागने टेरे॥  
> भूषन बसन बाजि गज दीन्हे। प्रेम पोषि ठाढ़े सब कीन्हे॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> बार बार बिरिदावलि भाषी। फिरे सकल रामहि उर राखी॥  
> बहुरि बहुरि कोसलपति कहहीं। जनकु प्रेमबस फिरै न चहहीं॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> पुनि कह भूपति बचन सुहाए। फिरिअ महीस दूरि बड़ि आए॥  
> राउ बहोरि उतरि भए ठाढ़े। प्रेम प्रबाह बिलोचन बाढ़े॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> तब बिदेह बोले कर जोरी। बचन सनेह सुधाँ जनु बोरी॥  
> करौं कवन बिधि बिनय बनाई। महाराज मोहि दीन्हि बड़ाई॥४॥

Meaning: King Daśaratha courteously persuaded the Hon’ble citizens to return and having reverently called all the mendicants, he bestowed on them ornaments and clothes as well as horses and elephants and satiating them with love, he made them all self-sufficient. (1)

Glorifying the king again and again, they all returned with Śrī Rāma in their heart. The Lord of Ayodhyā importuned King Janaka over and over again to return, but out of affection the latter would not turn back. (2)

Once more King Daśaratha addressed him graciously, “I beg you to turn back, O king; you have already come too far.” At last King Daśaratha got down from his chariot and remained standing, while his eyes overflowed with torrents of (tears of) love. (3)

Then spoke King Janaka with folded hands and in accents imbued with the nectar of love, “How and in what words should I make my supplication to you? You have conferred such high honour on me, O great king.” (4)

**दो०** 
> कोसलपति समधी सजन सनमाने सब भाँति।  
> मिलनि परसपर बिनय अति प्रीति न हृदयँ समाति॥३४०॥

Meaning: The king of Kosala, Daśaratha, showed all respect in every way to his relation (Samadhī), Janaka, father of the brides. The embrace in which they held each other was characterized by utmost humility and their hearts could hardly contain the exuberance of love they felt.(340)
