# Bal Kand · Doha 350b

**चौ०** 
> चारि सिंघासन सहज सुहाए। जनु मनोज निज हाथ बनाए॥  
> तिन्ह पर कुअँरि कुअँर बैठारे। सादर पाय पुनीत पखारे॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> धूप दीप नैबेद बेद बिधि। पूजे बर दुलहिनि मंगलनिधि॥  
> बारहिं बार आरती करहीं। ब्यजन चारु चामर सिर ढरहीं॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> बस्तु अनेक निछावरि होहीं। भरीं प्रमोद मातु सब सोहीं॥  
> पावा परम तत्व जनु जोगीं। अमृतु लहेउ जनु संतत रोगीं॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> जनम रंक जनु पारस पावा। अंधहि लोचन लाभु सुहावा॥  
> मूक बदन जनु सारद छाई। मानहुँ समर सूर जय पाई॥४॥

Meaning: There were four exquisitely beautiful thrones, which had been fashioned, as it were, by Cupid with his own hands; the queen-mothers seated the brides and the bridegrooms on them and reverently laved their holy feet. (1)

They then worshipped the blessed couples in accordance with the Vedic ritual by incense and light and offering them oblations of food. They performed their Āratī again and again and also waved beautiful fans and chowries over their heads. (2)

They scattered offerings of various kinds about them; the mothers were as full of exultation as a Yogī who has realized the highest truth, or as a lifelong patient who has been able to lay his hands on nectar, (3)

or as a born pauper who has stumbled on a philosopher’s stone, or as a blind man who has regained a good vision, or as a dumb fellow whose tongue has been transfused with the eloquence of Sarasvatī, the goddess of speech, or even as a hero who has triumphed in battle. (4)

**दो०** 
> एहि सुख ते सत कोटि गुन पावहिं मातु अनंदु।  
> भाइन्ह सहित बिआहि घर आए रघुकुलचंदु॥३५० (क)॥

**दो०** 
> लोक रीति जननीं करहिं बर दुलहिनि सकुचाहिं।  
> मोदु बिनोदु बिलोकि बड़ रामु मनहिं मुसुकाहिं॥३५० (ख)॥

Meaning: The mothers derived joy millions of times greater than the joys mentioned above; for in their case it was the Moon of Raghu’s race, Śrī Rāma Himself, who had returned home with His brothers duly married. (350-A)

As the mothers performed the traditional rites, the brides and their grooms felt shy; while Śrī Rāma smiled within Himself on perceiving the ecstasy and merriment of the occasion. (350-B)
