# Bal Kand · Doha 347

**चौ०** 
> धूप धूम नभु मेचक भयऊ। सावन घन घमंडु जनु ठयऊ॥  
> सुरतरु सुमन माल सुर बरषहिं। मनहुँ बलाक अवलि मनु करषहिं॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> मंजुल मनिमय बंदनिवारे। मनहुँ पाकरिपु चाप सँवारे॥  
> प्रगटहिं दुरहिं अटन्ह पर भामिनि। चारु चपल जनु दमकहिं दामिनि॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> दुंदुभि धुनि घन गरजनि घोरा। जाचक चातक दादुर मोरा॥  
> सुर सुगंध सुचि बरषहिं बारी। सुखी सकल ससि पुर नर नारी॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> समउ जानि गुर आयसु दीन्हा। पुर प्रबेसु रघुकुलमनि कीन्हा॥  
> सुमिरि संभु गिरिजा गनराजा। मुदित महीपति सहित समाजा॥४॥

Meaning: The sky became dark with the fumes of burning incense, as though overhung with the fast gathering clouds of the month of Śrāvaṇa (mid July-mid August). The gods rained down wreaths of flowers from the tree of paradise, which looked like rows of herons attracting the mind in their graceful flight. (1)

Lovely festoons made of Jewels looked like rainbows appearing in a row. Charming ladies, appearing on house-tops as quickly as they went out of sight, looked like the fitful flashes of lightning. (2)

The beat of drums resembled the crash of thunder; while beggars were as clamorous as the Cātaka birds, frogs and peacocks. The gods poured down showers in the form of sacred perfumes, which gladdened the crop in the form of all the citizens. (3)

Perceiving that the auspicious hour had arrived, the preceptor, Vasiṣṭha, gave the word, and the jewel of Raghu’s race, King Daśaratha, gladly entered the city with all his followers, fixing his mind on Bhagavān Śiva, Goddess Pārvatī and Lord Gaṇeśa. (4)

**दो०** 
> होहिं सगुन बरषहिं सुमन सुर दुंदुभीं बजाइ।  
> बिबुध बधू नाचहिं मुदित मंजुल मंगल गाइ॥३४७॥

Meaning: Good omens manifested themselves and the gods rained down flowers to the beat of drums; while celestial dames danced joyfully, singing melodious, propitious songs. (347)
