# Uttar Kand · Doha 4b

**चौ०** 
> इहाँ भानुकुल कमल दिवाकर। कपिन्ह देखावत नगर मनोहर॥  
> सुनु कपीस अंगद लंकेसा। पावन पुरी रुचिर यह देसा॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> जद्यपि सब बैकुंठ बखाना। बेद पुरान बिदित जगु जाना॥  
> अवधपुरी सम प्रिय नहिं सोऊ। यह प्रसंग जानइ कोउ कोऊ॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> जन्मभूमि मम पुरी सुहावनि। उत्तर दिसि बह सरजू पावनि॥  
> जा मज्जन ते बिनहिं प्रयासा। मम समीप नर पावहिं बासा॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> अति प्रिय मोहि इहाँ के बासी। मम धामदा पुरी सुख रासी॥  
> हरषे सब कपि सुनि प्रभु बानी। धन्य अवध जो राम बखानी॥४॥

Meaning: At the other end Śrī Rāma, who brought delight to the solar race as the sun to the lotus, was showing the charming city to the monkeys. “Listen, Aṅgada and Vibhīṣaṇa, lord of Laṅkā, holy is this city and beautiful this land. (1)

“Although all have extolled Vaikuṇṭha (My divine Abode), which is familiar to the Vedas and the Purāṇas and known throughout the world, even that is not so dear to Me as the city of Ayodhyā: only some rare (enlightened) persons know this secret. (2)

“This beautiful city is My birthplace; to the north of it flows the holy Sarayū, bathing in which men secure an abode near Me without any difficulty. (3)

“The dwellers here are very dear to Me; the city is not only full of bliss itself but bestows an abode in My divine realm.” The monkeys were all delighted to hear these words of the Lord and said, “Blessed indeed is Ayodhyā, that has evoked praise from Śrī Rāma Himself!” (4)

**दो०** 
> आवत देखि लोग सब कृपासिंधु भगवान।  
> नगर निकट प्रभु प्रेरेउ उतरेउ भूमि बिमान॥४ (क)॥

**दो०** 
> उतरि कहेउ प्रभु पुष्पकहि तुम्ह कुबेर पहिं जाहु।  
> प्रेरित राम चलेउ सो हरषु बिरहु अति ताहु॥४ (ख)॥

Meaning: When the All-merciful Lord Śrī Rāma saw all the people coming out to meet Him, He indicated to the aerial car to halt near the city and so it came down to the ground. (4 A)

On alighting from the car, the Lord told the Puṣpaka, “You may now return to Kubera.” Thus enjoined by Śrī Rāma, the aerial car departed, full of joy, but with deep agony at parting. (4 B)
