Doha 13
सुंदर बन कुसुमित अति सोभा। गुंजत मधुप निकर मधु लोभा॥ कंद मूल फल पत्र सुहाए। भए बहुत जब ते प्रभु आए॥१॥
देखि मनोहर सैल अनूपा। रहे तहँ अनुज सहित सुरभूपा॥ मधुकर खग मृग तनु धरि देवा। करहिं सिद्ध मुनि प्रभु कै सेवा॥२॥
मंगलरूप भयउ बन तब ते। कीन्ह निवास रमापति जब ते॥ फटिक सिला अति सुभ्र सुहाई। सुख आसीन तहाँ द्वौ भाई॥३॥
कहत अनुज सन कथा अनेका। भगति बिरति नृपनीति बिबेका॥ बरषा काल मेघ नभ छाए। गरजत लागत परम सुहाए॥४॥
Meaning
The lovely forest, rich in flowers, presented a most splendid sight with its swarms of bees humming for their love for honey. Delightful bulbs, roots, fruit and leaves grew in abundance ever since the time the Lord came there. (1) Seeing the mountain incomparable in its beauty, Śrī Rāma, the suzerain Lord of gods, stayed there with His younger brother. Taking the form of bees, birds and beasts, gods, Siddhas and hermits did service to the Lord. (2) The forest became a picture of felicity since the time Śrī Rāma, the Lord of Lakṣmī (the goddess of prosperity), took up His abode there. There was a delightful and glistening rock of crystal, on which the two brothers sat at ease. (3) Śrī Rāma gave discourse to His younger brother on many a topic such as Devotion, dispassion, statecraft and spiritual wisdom. As the rains had set in, the sky was overcast with clouds, which made a delightful rumbling sound. (4)
लछिमन देखु मोर गन नाचत बारिद पेखि। गृही बिरतिरत हरष जस बिष्नुभगत कहुँ देखि॥१३॥
Meaning
“Look here, Lakṣmaṇa, the peacocks dance at the sight of the clouds, even as a householder having a leaning towards dispassion would rejoice to see a devotee of Bhagavān Viṣṇu. (13)
