गङ्ग बचन सुनि मङ्गल मूला । मुदित सीय सुरसरि अनुकूला ॥
तब प्रभु गुहहि कहेउ घर जाहू । सुनत सूख मुख भा उर दाहू ॥
gaṅga bacana suni maṅgala mūlā | mudita sīya surasari anukūlā ||
taba prabhu guhahi kaheu ghara jāhū | sunata sūkha mukha bhā ura dāhū ||

What happens in this chapter
Guha begs to serve and goes along
Hearing the Ganga's auspicious words, Sita is glad. Then the Lord tells Guha to go home; at once his face dries up and his heart burns. With joined palms he pleads: hear my prayer, jewel of the Raghus. Let me stay with you, show you the way and serve your feet a few days. In whatever forest you settle, I will build you a lovely hut of leaves; after that I will do as you command, I swear by you. Seeing his natural love, Rama takes him along, and Guha's heart leaps. Guha calls all his kinsmen, satisfies them and sends them home. Then the Lord remembers Ganapati and Shiva, bows to the Ganga, and with his friend, his brother and Sita sets off into the forest.
दीन बचन गुह कह कर जोरी । बिनय सुनहु रघुकुल-मनि मारी ॥
नाथ साथ रहि पन्थ देखाई । करि दिन चारि चरन-सेवकाई ॥
dīna bacana guha kaha kara jorī | binaya sunahu raghukula-mani mārī ||
nātha sātha rahi pantha dekhāī | kari dina cāri carana-sevakāī ||
जेहिं बन जाइ रहब रघुराई । परन-कुटी मैं करबि सुहाई ॥
तब मोहि कहँ जसि देव रजाई । सोइ करिहउँ रघुबीर-दोहाई ॥
jehiṃ bana jāi rahaba raghurāī | parana-kuṭī maiṃ karabi suhāī ||
taba mohi kaham̐ jasi deva rajāī | soi karihaum̐ raghubīra-dohāī ||
सहज सनेह राम लखि ताल । सङ्ग लीन्ह गुह हृदय हुलासू ॥
पुनि गुहँ ज्ञाति बोलि सब लीन्हे । करि परितोष बिदा तब कीन्हे ॥
sahaja saneha rāma lakhi tāla | saṅga līnha guha hṛdaya hulāsū ||
puni guham̐ jñāti boli saba līnhe | kari paritoṣa bidā taba kīnhe ||
तब गनपति सिव सुमिरि प्रभु, नाइ सुरसरिहि माथ ।
सखा अनुज सिया सहित बन, गवन कीन्ह रधुनाथ ॥
taba ganapati siva sumiri prabhu, nāi surasarihi mātha |
sakhā anuja siyā sahita bana, gavana kīnha radhunātha ||
