Doha 26
प्रातकाल सरऊ करि मज्जन। बैठहिं सभाँ संग द्विज सज्जन॥ बेद पुरान बसिष्ट बखानहिं। सुनहिं राम जद्यपि सब जानहिं॥१॥
अनुजन्ह संजुत भोजन करहीं। देखि सकल जननीं सुख भरहीं॥ भरत सत्रुहन दोनउ भाई। सहित पवनसुत उपबन जाई॥२॥
बूझहिं बैठि राम गुन गाहा। कह हनुमान सुमति अवगाहा॥ सुनत बिमल गुन अति सुख पावहिं। बहुरि बहुरि करि बिनय कहावहिं॥३॥
सब कें गृह गृह होहिं पुराना। राम चरित पावन बिधि नाना॥ नर अरु नारि राम गुन गानहिं। करहिं दिवस निसि जात न जानहिं॥४॥
Meaning
After taking a bath in the Sarayū early in the morning, the Lord sat in the assembly of Brāhmaṇas and holy men. Sage Vasiṣṭha expounded the Vedas and Purāṇas, while Śrī Rāma listened to the exposition, even though He knew all the lore Himself. (1) He took His meals with His younger brothers and the sight filled all the mothers with joy. The two brothers, Bharata and Śatrughna, would accompany Hanumān, the son of the wind-god, to some grove, (2) where they would sit and ask Hanumān to expatiate on Śrī Rāma’s virtues, and Hanumān would plunge his sound intellect into the ocean of His virtues and then recount them. The two brothers, Bharata and Śatrughna, derived immense joy from the discourse on His immaculate virtues and with much entreaty had it related again and again. (3) Everywhere—in every house people recited the Purāṇas and narrated Śrī Rāma’s holy exploits of diverse nature. Men and women alike joined in hymning Śrī Rāma’s glories and would be in such rapturous bliss that days and nights passed by unnoticed. (4)
अवधपुरी बासिन्ह कर सुख संपदा समाज। सहस सेष नहिं कहि सकहिं जहँ नृप राम बिराज॥२६॥
Meaning
Not a thousand Śeṣas could narrate all the happiness and prosperity of the people of Ayodhyā, where Śrī Rāma reigned as King. (26)
