Doha 345
भूप भवनु तेहि अवसर सोहा। रचना देखि मदन मनु मोहा॥ मंगल सगुन मनोहरताई। रिधि सिधि सुख संपदा सुहाई॥१॥
जनु उछाह सब सहज सुहाए। तनु धरि धरि दसरथ गृहँ छाए॥ देखन हेतु राम बैदेही। कहहु लालसा होहि न केही॥२॥
जूथ जूथ मिलि चलीं सुआसिनि। निज छबि निदरहिं मदन बिलासिनि॥ सकल सुमंगल सजें आरती। गावहिं जनु बहु बेष भारती॥३॥
भूपति भवन कोलाहलु होई। जाइ न बरनि समउ सुखु सोई॥ कौसल्यादि राम महतारीं। प्रेमबिबस तन दसा बिसारीं॥४॥
Meaning
The king’s palace looked very charming on that occasion; its decoration captivated the heart of Cupid himself. It looked as if auspicious omens and loveliness, affluence and mystic powers, joys and gorgeous prosperity, (1) and all kinds of rejoicings had assumed naturally beautiful forms and taken their abode in the palace of King Daśaratha. Tell me who would not feel tempted to have a look at Śrī Rāma and Jānakī? (2) ‘Suhāgina’ women sallied forth in troops, each eclipsing Love’s consort Rati by her beauty. They all carried articles of good omen and were equipped with the requisites for the Āratī (आरती) and as they moved along singing all the way, it appeared as if Goddess Sarasvatī (the goddess of speech) had appeared in so many forms. (3) The king’s palace was full of hilarious rejoicing; the joy of the occasion was ineffable. Kausalyā and other mothers of Śrī Rāma were so overwhelmed with emotion that they forgot all about their own self. (4)
दिए दान बिप्रन्ह बिपुल पूजि गनेस पुरारि। प्रमुदित परम दरिद्र जनु पाइ पदारथ चारि॥३४५॥
Meaning
After worshipping Lord Gaṇeśa and Śiva, the slayer of the demon Tripura, they bestowed enormous gifts upon the Brāhmaṇas and were supremely delighted as an utterly indigent man, who had attained the four great prizes of life. (345)
