Doha 21
दैहिक दैविक भौतिक तापा। राम राज नहिं काहुहि ब्यापा॥ सब नर करहिं परस्पर प्रीती। चलहिं स्वधर्म निरत श्रुति नीती॥१॥
चारिउ चरन धर्म जग माहीं। पूरि रहा सपनेहुँ अघ नाहीं॥ राम भगति रत नर अरु नारी। सकल परम गति के अधिकारी॥२॥
अल्पमृत्यु नहिं कवनिउ पीरा। सब सुंदर सब बिरुज सरीरा॥ नहिं दरिद्र कोउ दुखी न दीना। नहिं कोउ अबुध न लच्छन हीना॥३॥
सब निर्दंभ धर्मरत पुनी। नर अरु नारि चतुर सब गुनी॥ सब गुनग्य पंडित सब ग्यानी। सब कृतग्य नहिं कपट सयानी॥४॥
Meaning
In the whole of Śrī Rāma’s Kingdom there was none who suffered from affliction of any kind—whether of the body, or proceeding from divine or supernatural powers or that caused by another living being. All men loved one another; each followed one’s prescribed duty, conforming to the precepts of the Vedas. (1) Dharma with its four pillars (viz., truth, purity—both external and internal–compassion and charity) flourished everywhere throughout the world; no one even dreamt of sin. Men and women alike were devoted to Śrī Rāma’s worship and all were qualified for final beatitude. (2) There was no premature death, nor suffering of any kind; everyone was comely and sound of body. No one was destitute, afflicted or miserable; no one was stupid or devoid of fine traits. (3) All were free from ego, pious and virtuous; all were intelligent and accomplished– both men and women. Everyone recognized the merits of others and was learned and wise; nay, everyone acknowledged the services and benefits received from others and there was no guileful shrewdness. (4)
राम राज नभगेस सुनु सचराचर जग माहिं। काल कर्म सुभाव गुन कृत दुख काहुहि नाहिं॥२१॥
Meaning
Listen, O king of birds, Garuḍa (continues Kākabhuśuṇḍi) during Śrī Rāma’s reign there was not a creature in this world, animate or inanimate, that was liable to any of the sufferings attributable to time, past conduct, personal temperament or character. (21)
