Doha 352
जो बसिष्ट अनुसासन दीन्ही। लोक बेद बिधि सादर कीन्ही॥ भूसुर भीर देखि सब रानी। सादर उठीं भाग्य बड़ जानी॥१॥
पाय पखारि सकल अन्हवाए। पूजि भली बिधि भूप जेवाँए॥ आदर दान प्रेम परिपोषे। देत असीस चले मन तोषे॥२॥
बहु बिधि कीन्हि गाधिसुत पूजा। नाथ मोहि सम धन्य न दूजा॥ कीन्हि प्रसंसा भूपति भूरी। रानिन्ह सहित लीन्हि पग धूरी॥३॥
भीतर भवन दीन्ह बर बासू। मन जोगवत रह नृपु रनिवासू॥ पूजे गुर पद कमल बहोरी। कीन्हि बिनय उर प्रीति न थोरी॥४॥
Meaning
Under Vasiṣṭha’s directions the king reverently performed all the ceremonies prescribed either by usage or by the Veda. The queens, on seeing a crowd of Brāhmaṇas, deemed themselves most fortunate and all rose to greet them. (1) They laved the feet of the holy ones and helped them all perform their ablutions, while the king duly worshipped and entertained them at meal. Overwhelmed with the host’s civility, gifts and love, they departed glad at heart, invoking blessings on him. (2) To Gādhi’s son, Viśvāmitra, the king paid homage in various ways and said, “My lord, there is no one so blessed as I am.” The king lavished his praises on him and took the dust of his feet alongwith his queens. (3) He assigned the sage a fine dwelling in his own palace, while the king and his whole gynaeceum kept a vigilant eye on his wants even though unexpressed. Again, the king adored the lotus-feet of his preceptor, Vasiṣṭha, and made humble submission to him with great affection in his heart. (4)
बधुन्ह समेत कुमार सब रानिन्ह सहित महीसु। पुनि पुनि बंदत गुर चरन देत असीस मुनीसु॥३५२॥
Meaning
All the princes with their brides and the king with his queens bowed to the preceptor’s feet again and again, while the great sage invoked blessings on them all. (352)
