# Uttar Kand · Doha 25

Birth of sons to the four brothers; Ayodhyā’s loveliness; arrival of the sage Sanaka and his three brothers and their dialogue with Śrī Rāma

**चौ०** 
> सेवहिं सानकूल सब भाई। राम चरन रति अति अधिकाई॥  
> प्रभु मुख कमल बिलोकत रहहीं। कबहुँ कृपाल हमहि कछु कहहीं॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> राम करहिं भ्रातन्ह पर प्रीती। नाना भाँति सिखावहिं नीती॥  
> हरषित रहहिं नगर के लोगा। करहिं सकल सुर दुर्लभ भोगा॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> अहनिसि बिधिहि मनावत रहहीं। श्रीरघुबीर चरन रति चहहीं॥  
> दुइ सुत सुंदर सीताँ जाए। लव कुस बेद पुरानन्ह गाए॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> दोउ बिजई बिनई गुन मंदिर। हरि प्रतिबिंब मनहुँ अति सुंदर॥  
> दुइ दुइ सुत सब भ्रातन्ह केरे। भए रूप गुन सील घनेरे॥४॥

Meaning: All the younger brothers served the Lord with great fidelity; for their love for Śrī Rāma knew no bounds. They ever kept gazing on His lotus face in the hope that the benign Lord might give some order to them at any moment. (1)

Śrī Rāma too loved His younger brothers and taught them stately wisdom of all kinds. The citizens led a happy life and enjoyed all sorts of pleasures, which even gods could scarcely get. (2)

Day and night they prayed to God and sought the boon of devotion to the feet of Śrī Raghuvīra. Sītā gave birth to two pretty sons, Lava and Kuśa by name, who have figured in the Vedas and Purāṇas. (3)

Both these boys were victorious in battle, modest, accomplished and handsome, the very images, as it were, of Śrī Hari (Rāma). Śrī Rāma’s other brothers too had two sons each, pre-eminent in comeliness of form, merit and virtue. (4)

**दो०** 
> ग्यान गिरा गोतीत अज माया मन गुन पार।  
> सोइ सच्चिदानंद घन कर नर चरित उदार॥२५॥

Meaning: The same Brahma, who is beyond all knowledge, speech and sense-perception, nay, who is unborn and transcends Māyā (Prakṛti or Matter), the mind and the modes of Prakṛti and is truth, knowledge and bliss solidified, exhibited the ideal conduct of a human being. (25)
