Doha 359
भूप बिलोकि लिए उर लाई। बैठे हरषि रजायसु पाई॥ देखि रामु सब सभा जुड़ानी। लोचन लाभ अवधि अनुमानी॥१॥
पुनि बसिष्टु मुनि कौसिकु आए। सुभग आसनन्हि मुनि बैठाए॥ सुतन्ह समेत पूजि पद लागे। निरखि रामु दोउ गुर अनुरागे॥२॥
कहहिं बसिष्टु धरम इतिहासा। सुनहिं महीसु सहित रनिवासा॥ मुनि मन अगम गाधिसुत करनी। मुदित बसिष्ट बिपुल बिधि बरनी॥३॥
बोले बामदेउ सब साँची। कीरति कलित लोक तिहुँ माची॥ सुनि आनंदु भयउ सब काहू। राम लखन उर अधिक उछाहू॥४॥
Meaning
The king, on seeing them, embraced them to his bosom; and the four brothers gladly sat down on receiving his permission. The whole court was gratified to see Śrī Rāma and accounted their eyes supremely blessed. (1) Then came the sages, Vasiṣṭha and Viśvāmitra, and were seated on splendid seats. The father and sons adored the sages and clasped their feet and the two preceptors were enraptured to behold Śrī Rāma. (2) Sage Vasiṣṭha narrated sacred legends, while the king and the ladies of the gynaeceum listened. In the course of his narration the sage gladly recounted in diverse ways the doings of Viśvāmitra, that surpassed the imagination even of hermits. (3) Vāmadeva (another family preceptor of King Daśaratha) observed that whatever Vasiṣṭha said was true and that Viśvāmitra’s fair renown had pervaded all the three spheres. Everyone rejoiced to hear that, while Śrī Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa were all the more delighted at heart. (4)
मंगल मोद उछाह नित जाहिं दिवस एहि भाँति। उमगी अवध अनंद भरि अधिक अधिक अधिकाति॥ ३५९॥
Meaning
There was constant felicity, joy and rejoicing and days rolled on in this way. The city of Ayodhyā was inundated with tidal waves of delight, swelling higher and still higher. (359)
