सुनि मुनि बचन राम सकुचाने । भाव भगति आनन्द अघाने ॥
तब रघुबर मुनि सुजस सुहावा । कोटि भाँति कहि सबहि सुनावा ॥
suni muni bacana rāma sakucāne | bhāva bhagati ānanda aghāne ||
taba raghubara muni sujasa suhāvā | koṭi bhām̐ti kahi sabahi sunāvā ||

What happens in this chapter
Mutual reverence; Prayag's sages come to see
Hearing the muni, Rama is abashed and filled with the joy of bhava and bhakti. Then Raghubara praises the sage's fame in countless ways to everyone: he alone is great and the home of all virtues whom you, lord of munis, honour. The sage and Raghubira bow to each other and feel a happiness beyond words. Hearing the news, the people of Prayag, young students, ascetics, munis, siddhas and renunciants, all come to Bharadvaja's ashram to see the handsome sons of Dasharatha. Rama bows to all; they bless him and go home praising his beauty. Rama rests there that night, bathes at Prayag in the morning, bows joyfully to the muni and sets off with Sita, Lakshmana and Guha.
सो बड़ सो सब गुन-गन-गेहू । जेहि मुनीस तुम्ह आदर देहू ॥
मुनि रघुबीर परसपर नवहीं । बचन-अगोचर सुख अनुभवहीं ॥
so bar̤a so saba guna-gana-gehū | jehi munīsa tumha ādara dehū ||
muni raghubīra parasapara navahīṃ | bacana-agocara sukha anubhavahīṃ ||
यह सुधि पाइ प्रयाग-निवासी । बटु तापस मुनि सिद्ध उदासी ॥
भरद्वाज आश्रम सब आए । देखन दसरथ सुअन सुहाये ॥
yaha sudhi pāi prayāga-nivāsī | baṭu tāpasa muni siddha udāsī ||
bharadvāja āśrama saba āe | dekhana dasaratha suana suhāye ||
राम प्रनाम कीन्ह सब काहू । मुदित भये लहि लोचन-लाहू ॥
देहिँ असीस परम-सुख पाई । फिरे सराहत सुन्दरताई ॥
rāma pranāma kīnha saba kāhū | mudita bhaye lahi locana-lāhū ||
dehim̐ asīsa parama-sukha pāī | phire sarāhata sundaratāī ||
राम कीन्ह बिश्राम निसि, प्रात प्रयाग नहाइ ।
चले सहित सिय-लखन-जन, मुददित मुनिहिँ सिर नाइ ॥
rāma kīnha biśrāma nisi, prāta prayāga nahāi |
cale sahita siya-lakhana-jana, mudadita munihim̐ sira nāi ||
