# Bal Kand · Doha 355

**चौ०** 
> मंगलगान करहिं बर भामिनि। भै सुखमूल मनोहर जामिनि॥  
> अँचइ पान सब काहूँ पाए। स्रग सुगंध भूषित छबि छाए॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> रामहि देखि रजायसु पाई। निज निज भवन चले सिर नाई॥  
> प्रेम प्रमोदु बिनोदु बड़ाई। समउ समाजु मनोहरताई॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> कहि न सकहिं सत सारद सेसू। बेद बिरंचि महेस गनेसू॥  
> सो मैं कहौं कवन बिधि बरनी। भूमिनागु सिर धरइ कि धरनी॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> नृप सब भाँति सबहि सनमानी। कहि मृदु बचन बोलाईं रानी॥  
> बधू लरिकनीं पर घर आईं। राखेहु नयन पलक की नाईं॥४॥

Meaning: Lovely women sang joyous songs, and the night became delightful and soul-enthralling. All rinsed their mouth and were given betel-leaves; and having been adorned with garlands and sandal-paste etc., they looked most charming. (1)

Looking once more at Śrī Rāma and having received His permission they proceeded each to his own house, bowing their heads to Him. The love and rapture, meriment and magnanimity, prosperity, splendour and loveliness— (2)

that manifested there were more than could be told by a hundred Sarasvatīs and Śeṣas, Vedas and Brahmās, Śivas and Gaṇeśas. How, then, can I describe them at length any more than an earthworm could support the globe on its head? (3)

The king then summoned the queens and, showing all honour to each of them, admonished them in gentle tones, “The brides are yet too tender (of age) and have come to a new dwelling house; therefore, take care of them as eyelids protect the eyes. (4)

**दो०** 
> लरिका श्रमित उनीद बस सयन करावहु जाइ।  
> अस कहि गे बिश्रामगृहँ राम चरन चितु लाइ॥३५५॥

Meaning: “The boys are tired and feeling drowsy; go and put them to bed.” So saying, the king retired to his own bedroom with his mind absorbed in Śrī Rāma’s feet. (355)
