तब मज्जन करि रघुकुल नाथा । पूजि पारथिव नायउ माथा ॥
सियँ सुरसरिहि कहेउ कर जोरी । मातु मनोरथ पुरउबि मोरी ॥
taba majjana kari raghukula nāthā | pūji pārathiva nāyau māthā ||
siyam̐ surasarihi kaheu kara jorī | mātu manoratha puraubi morī ||

What happens in this chapter
Sita prays to the Ganga and is blessed
Raghunatha bathes, worships Shiva in an earthen linga and bows his head. Sita joins her palms and prays to the Ganga: Mother, fulfil my wish, that I may come back safely with my husband and brother-in-law and worship you. A clear voice rises from the waters. Listen, Vaidehi, beloved of Raghubira: who in the world does not know your power? At your glance beings become guardians of the worlds, and all the siddhis serve you with joined palms. By making so humble a request you have honoured me. Still, goddess, I give my blessing so that my speech may bear fruit: you will return safely to Kosala with your lord and his brother, your every wish will be fulfilled, and your fame will fill the world.
पति-देवर-सँग कुसल बहोरी । आइ करउँ जेहिं पूजा तोरी ॥
सुनि सिय बिनय प्रेम रस सानी । भइ तब बिमल बारि बर बानी ॥
pati-devara-sam̐ga kusala bahorī | āi karaum̐ jehiṃ pūjā torī ||
suni siya binaya prema rasa sānī | bhai taba bimala bāri bara bānī ||
सुनु रघुबीर प्रिया बैदेही । तव प्रभाउ जग बिदित न केही ॥
लोकप होहिं बिलोकत तोरें । तोहि सेवहिं सब सिधि कर जोरें ॥
sunu raghubīra priyā baidehī | tava prabhāu jaga bidita na kehī ||
lokapa hohiṃ bilokata toreṃ | tohi sevahiṃ saba sidhi kara joreṃ ||
तुम्ह जो हमहि बड़ि बिनय सुनाई । कृपा कीन्ह मोहि दीन्हि बड़ाई ॥
तदपि देबि मैं देबि असीसा । सफल होपन हित निज बागीसा ॥
tumha jo hamahi bar̤i binaya sunāī | kṛpā kīnha mohi dīnhi bar̤āī ||
tadapi debi maiṃ debi asīsā | saphala hopana hita nija bāgīsā ||
प्राननाथ देवर सहित, कुसल कोसला आइ ।
पूजिहि सब मनकामना, सुजस रहिहि जग छाइ ॥
prānanātha devara sahita, kusala kosalā āi |
pūjihi saba manakāmanā, sujasa rahihi jaga chāi ||
