Doha 30
जहँ तहँ नर रघुपति गुन गावहिं। बैठि परसपर इहइ सिखावहिं॥ भजहु प्रनत प्रतिपालक रामहि। सोभा सील रूप गुन धामहि॥१॥
जलज बिलोचन स्यामल गातहि। पलक नयन इव सेवक त्रातहि॥ धृत सर रुचिर चाप तूनीरहि। संत कंज बन रबि रनधीरहि॥२॥
काल कराल ब्याल खगराजहि। नमत राम अकाम ममता जहि॥ लोभ मोह मृगजूथ किरातहि। मनसिज करि हरि जन सुखदातहि॥३॥
संसय सोक निबिड़ तम भानुहि। दनुज गहन घन दहन कृसानुहि॥ जनकसुता समेत रघुबीरहि। कस न भजहु भंजन भव भीरहि॥४॥
बहु बासना मसक हिम रासिहि। सदा एकरस अज अबिनासिहि॥ मुनि रंजन भंजन महि भारहि। तुलसिदास के प्रभुहि उदारहि॥५॥
Meaning
Everywhere men sang the praises of Śrī Raghunātha, and even while sitting together they exhorted one another saying, “Worship Śrī Rāma, the Protector of the suppliant, the repository of elegance, amiability, beauty and goodness, (1) “who has lotus-like eyes and swarthy limbs, who looks after His servants even as the eyelids guard the eye-balls, who is armed with a splendid bow, arrows and quiver and is staunch in battle, who delights the saints even as the sun brings joy to a bed of lotuses, (2) “who is a Garuḍa (the king of the birds) to devour the dreadful serpent in the shape of Death, who destroys the feeling of possessiveness (infatuation) the moment a person bows to Him in a selfless spirit, and who is a hunter to kill the herd of deer in the shape of greed and infatuation, a lion to quell the elephant of concupiscence, the delight of His follower/servants; (3) “a sun to scatter the thick darkness of doubt and sorrow, and a fire to consume the dense forest of the demon race. Oh, why should you not adore Śrī Raghuvīra, ever accompanied by Jānakī, who dispels the fear of transmigration; (4) “who plays the role of frost to destroy mosquitoes in the disguise of manifold latent desires, who is ever unchangeable, unborn and imperishable, the delight of the sages, the reliever of the earth’s burdens, the munificent lord of Tulasīdāsa.” (5)
एहि बिधि नगर नारि नर करहिं राम गुन गान। सानुकूल सब पर रहहिं संतत कृपानिधान॥३०॥
Meaning
In this way the men and women of the city sang Śrī Rāma’s praises and the All merciful Śrī Rāma was ever propitious to all. (30)
