# Bal Kand · Doha 357

**चौ०** 
> मुनि प्रसाद बलि तात तुम्हारी। ईस अनेक करवरें टारी॥  
> मख रखवारी करि दुहुँ भाईं। गुरु प्रसाद सब बिद्या पाईं॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> मुनितिय तरी लगत पग धूरी। कीरति रही भुवन भरि पूरी॥  
> कमठ पीठि पबि कूट कठोरा। नृप समाज महुँ सिव धनु तोरा॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> बिस्व बिजय जसु जानकि पाई। आए भवन ब्याहि सब भाई॥  
> सकल अमानुष करम तुम्हारे। केवल कौसिक कृपाँ सुधारे॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> आजु सुफल जग जनमु हमारा। देखि तात बिधुबदन तुम्हारा॥  
> जे दिन गए तुम्हहि बिनु देखें। ते बिरंचि जनि पारहिं लेखें॥४॥

Meaning: “I offer myself, dear child, as a sacrifice for your sake; it was through the goodwill of the sage, Viśvāmitra, alone that God kept a number of calamities away from you. Even while you and your brother Lakṣmaṇa guarded the sacrifice, by Guru’s grace you were initiated into all the (secret) lore. (1)

“At the mere touch of the dust of your feet the hermit’s wife, Ahalyā, attained salvation and your glory filled the whole universe. In the assembly of princes you broke Śiva’s bow, hard though it was as a tortoise-shell or adamant as rock. (2)

“You gained the glory of having won a world victory and won the hand of Jānakī, and then returned home after marrying all your brothers. All your actions have been superhuman and were accomplished only by the grace of the sage, Viśvāmitra. (3)

“Our birth into the world has borne fruit today as we now behold, dear child, your moon-like face. Our prayer is that the number of days that have gone by without seeing you, may not be reckoned by the Creator at all (i.e., not accounted in our prescribed age).” (4)

**दो०** 
> राम प्रतोषीं मातु सब कहि बिनीत बर बैन।  
> सुमिरि संभु गुर बिप्र पद किए नीदबस नैन॥३५७॥

Meaning: Śrī Rāma gratified all His mothers by addressing sweet and polite words to them; and fixing His thought on the feet of Śiva, His preceptors (Vasiṣṭha and Viśvāmitra) and the Brāhmaṇas in general, He closed His eyes to sleep. (357)
