सुनत तीर-बासी नर-नारी । धाये निज निज काज बिसारी ॥
लखन-राम-सिय सुन्दरताई । देखि करहिं निज भाग्य बड़ाई ॥
sunata tīra-bāsī nara-nārī | dhāye nija nija kāja bisārī ||
lakhana-rāma-siya sundaratāī | dekhi karahiṃ nija bhāgya bar̤āī ||

What happens in this chapter
Yamuna villagers; a young ascetic arrives
Hearing of them, the men and women living on the bank run up, forgetting their work. Seeing the beauty of Lakshmana, Rama and Sita, they praise their own good fortune. They are shy to ask names. The elders among them, wise and experienced, recognise Rama by careful reckoning and tell the others the whole account: by their father's command they are going to the forest. Hearing it, everyone grieves and says the queen and king have not done well. Just then a young ascetic arrives, radiant, in a renunciant's dress, devoted to Rama in mind, deed and word. Recognising his chosen deity, eyes brimming and body thrilling, he falls flat on the ground like a staff; his state cannot be described.
अति लालसा सबहि मन माहीं । नाउँ गाउँ बूझत सकुचाहीँ ॥
जे तिन्ह महुँ बयबिरिध सयाने । तिन्ह करि जुगुति राम पहिचाने ॥
ati lālasā sabahi mana māhīṃ | nāum̐ gāum̐ būjhata sakucāhīm̐ ||
je tinha mahum̐ bayabiridha sayāne | tinha kari juguti rāma pahicāne ||
सकल कथा तिन्ह सबहिँ सुनाई । बनहिँ चले पितु आयसु पाई ॥
सुनि सबिषाद सकल पछिताहीँ । रानी रायँ कीन्ह भल नाहीं ॥
sakala kathā tinha sabahim̐ sunāī | banahim̐ cale pitu āyasu pāī ||
suni sabiṣāda sakala pachitāhīm̐ | rānī rāyam̐ kīnha bhala nāhīṃ ||
तेहि अवसर एक तापस आवा । तेजपुंज लघुबयस सुहावा ॥
कबि-अलखित-गति बेष बिरागी । मन क्रम बचन राम-अनुरागी ॥
tehi avasara eka tāpasa āvā | tejapuṃja laghubayasa suhāvā ||
kabi-alakhita-gati beṣa birāgī | mana krama bacana rāma-anurāgī ||
सजल नयन तन पुलकि निज, इष्टदेउ पहिचानि ।
परेउ दंड जिमि धरनितल, दसा न जाइ बखानि ॥
sajala nayana tana pulaki nija, iṣṭadeu pahicāni |
pareu daṃḍa jimi dharanitala, dasā na jāi bakhāni ||
