Doha 7

चौ०

सासुन्ह सबनि मिली बैदेही। चरनन्हि लागि हरषु अति तेही॥ देहिं असीस बूझि कुसलाता। होइ अचल तुम्हार अहिवाता॥१॥

चौ०

सब रघुपति मुख कमल बिलोकहिं। मंगल जानि नयन जल रोकहिं॥ कनक थार आरती उतारहिं। बार बार प्रभु गात निहारहिं॥२॥

चौ०

नाना भाँति निछावरि करहीं। परमानंद हरष उर भरहीं॥ कौसल्या पुनि पुनि रघुबीरहि। चितवति कृपासिंधु रनधीरहि॥३॥

चौ०

हृदयँ बिचारति बारहिं बारा। कवन भाँति लंकापति मारा॥ अति सुकुमार जुगल मेरे बारे। निसिचर सुभट महाबल भारे॥४॥

Meaning

Jānakī greeted all Her mothers-in-law and was transported with joy as She clasped their feet. They enquired after Her welfare and blessed Her: “May your married life ever be happy.” (1) All gazed upon the lotus face of Śrī Rāma and, remembering that it was an occasion for rejoicing, checked the tears that rose in their eyes. With festal lighted lamps in gold plates, they waved them about Śrī Rāma (in order to ward off evil forces) and again and again looked at the Lord’s person. (2) They scattered all kinds of offerings about Him (in order to avert an evil eye), their heart full of supreme felicity and jubilation. Again and again did Kausalyā gaze upon Śrī Raghuvīra, who was an ocean of compassion and an irresistible warrior, (3) each time pondering within herself: “How can he have killed the lord of Laṅkā? Too delicate of body are my two boys, while the demons were great heroes of extraordinary might!” (4)

दो०

लछिमन अरु सीता सहित प्रभुहि बिलोकति मातु। परमानंद मगन मन पुनि पुनि पुलकित गातु॥७॥

Meaning

As mother Kausalyā looked upon the Lord with Lakṣmaṇa and Sītā, her soul was overwhelmed with supreme felicity and the hair on her body bristled up again and again. (7)
