# Bal Kand · Doha 344

**चौ०** 
> हने निसान पनव बर बाजे। भेरि संख धुनि हय गय गाजे॥  
> झाँझि बिरव डिंडिमी सुहाई। सरस राग बाजहिं सहनाई॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> पुर जन आवत अकनि बराता। मुदित सकल पुलकावलि गाता॥  
> निज निज सुंदर सदन सँवारे। हाट बाट चौहट पुर द्वारे॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> गलीं सकल अरगजाँ सिंचाईं। जहँ तहँ चौकें चारु पुराईं॥  
> बना बजारु न जाइ बखाना। तोरन केतु पताक बिताना॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> सफल पूगफल कदलि रसाला। रोपे बकुल कदंब तमाला॥  
> लगे सुभग तरु परसत धरनी। मनिमय आलबाल कल करनी॥४॥

Meaning: Kettledrums were beaten and quality tabors sounded, accompanied by the blowing of sackbuts and conches, and the neighing of horses and trumpeting of elephants. Similarly, there was sounding of cymbals and drums, while clarionets gave out sweet tunes. (1)

The citizens were all delighted to hear of the marriage procession coming; the hair on their body stood erect. They all decorated their own beautiful houses as well as the markets, streets, squares and gates of the city. (2)

All the lanes were sprinkled with perfumes; here and there festal squares were filled in with elegant devices. The bazaars were beautified beyond all description with festal arches, flags, banners and canopies. (3)

Trees of the areca-nut, the plantain, the mango, the Bakula, the Kadamba and the Tamāla were transplanted alongwith their fruit. The beautiful trees thus planted touched the ground (on account of their being laden with fruits); they had basins of precious stones constructed around them with exquisite skill. (4)

**दो०** 
> बिबिध भाँति मंगल कलस गृह गृह रचे सँवारि।  
> सुर ब्रह्मादि सिहाहिं सब रघुबर पुरी निहारि॥३४४॥

Meaning: Festal vases of various kinds were ranged in order in every house; Brahmā and the other gods were filled with envy to see (Ayodhyā), the birthplace of Śrī Rāma. (344)
