Doha 353

चौ०

बिनय कीन्हि उर अति अनुरागें। सुत संपदा राखि सब आगें॥ नेगु मागि मुनिनायक लीन्हा। आसिरबादु बहुत बिधि दीन्हा॥१॥

उर धरि रामहि सीय समेता। हरषि कीन्ह गुर गवनु निकेता॥ बिप्रबधू सब भूप बोलाईं। चैल चारु भूषन पहिराईं॥२॥

बहुरि बोलाइ सुआसिनि लीन्हीं। रुचि बिचारि पहिरावनि दीन्हीं॥ नेगी नेग जोग सब लेहीं। रुचि अनुरूप भूपमनि देहीं॥३॥

All those who were entitled to receive gifts and presents on ceremonial occasions received their gifts from the jewel of kings, who rewarded them according to their choice. (3) And the king duly honoured guests, who were worthy of affection and adoration. The gods who witnessed Śrī Rāma’s wedding rained down flowers, while applauding the celebrations; (4)
