Doha 356

चौ०

भूप बचन सुनि सहज सुहाए। जरित कनक मनि पलँग डसाए॥ सुभग सुरभि पय फेन समाना। कोमल कलित सुपेतीं नाना॥१॥

चौ०

उपबरहन बर बरनि न जाहीं। स्रग सुगंध मनिमंदिर माहीं॥ रतनदीप सुठि चारु चँदोवा। कहत न बनइ जान जेहिं जोवा॥२॥

चौ०

सेज रुचिर रचि रामु उठाए। प्रेम समेत पलँग पौढ़ाए॥ अग्या पुनि पुनि भाइन्ह दीन्ही। निज निज सेज सयन तिन्ह कीन्ही॥३॥

चौ०

देखि स्याम मृदु मंजुल गाता। कहहिं सप्रेम बचन सब माता॥ मारग जात भयावनि भारी। केहि बिधि तात ताड़का मारी॥४॥

Meaning

Hearing the sweet and loving words of the king, the queens made ready bejewelled beds of gold and furnished them with many a rich covering, soft and white as the froth of cow’s milk, (1) and pillows charming beyond description. The bed-chamber, made of precious stones, was decked with garlands and supplied with perfumes, lamps consisting of bright gems and a canopy lovely beyond words. He alone who saw it could know what it was like. (2) Having thus prepared a number of fine beds, the queen-mothers took up Śrī Rāma and lovingly laid Him down upon one of them. On being repeatedly told by Śrī Rāma, His brothers too retired, each to his own bed. (3) As the mothers gazed on the swarthy limbs of Śrī Rāma, so soft and beautiful, they all exclaimed in loving accents, “How did you manage, dear child, to kill the most dreadful demoness, Tāḍakā, while on your way (to the Ṛṣi’s hermitage)? (4)

घोर निसाचर बिकट भट समर गनहिं नहिं काहु। मारे सहित सहाय किमि खल मारीच सुबाहु॥३५६॥

Meaning

“How were you able to slay those monstrous giants, the wicked Mārīca and Subāhu and their followers, who were formidable warriors and counted none before them in battle? (356)
