कपटी कायर कुमति कुजाती । लोक बेद बाहेर सब भाँती ॥
राम कीन्ह आपन जबही तेँ । भयउँ भुवन-भूषन तबही तेँ ॥
kapaṭī kāyara kumati kujātī | loka beda bāhera saba bhām̐tī ||
rāma kīnha āpana jabahī tem̐ | bhayaum̐ bhuvana-bhūṣana tabahī tem̐ ||

What happens in this chapter
Shatrughna and the queens welcome Guha
I was deceitful, cowardly, foolish and of low birth, Guha says, outside custom and Veda in every way; from the day Rama made me his own, I became an ornament of the world. Seeing his love and hearing his humble words, Shatrughna embraces him too. Guha speaks his name and salutes all the queens with respect. Taking him for another Lakshmana, they bless him: live happily a hundred thousand years. The citizens look at him as gladly as if they saw Lakshmana, and say he has won the gain of life, for Rama held him in his arms. Delighted at his fortune, Guha leads them on. At his nod his servants make camps in houses, under trees, by ponds, in gardens and groves.
देखि प्रीति सुनि बिनय सुहाई । मिलेउ बहोरि लखन लघु भाई ॥
कहि निषाद निज नाम सुबानीं । सादर सकल जोहारीं रानीं ॥
dekhi prīti suni binaya suhāī | mileu bahori lakhana laghu bhāī ||
kahi niṣāda nija nāma subānīṃ | sādara sakala johārīṃ rānīṃ ||
जानि लखन सम देहिॅ असीसा । जिअहु सुखी सय लाख बरीसा ॥
निरखि निषाद नगर-नर-नारी । भये सुखी जनु लखन निहारी ॥
jāni lakhana sama dehiॅ asīsā | jiahu sukhī saya lākha barīsā ||
nirakhi niṣāda nagara-nara-nārī | bhaye sukhī janu lakhana nihārī ||
कहहिॅ लहेउ एहिं जीवन-लाहू । भेंटेउ रामभद्र भरि बाहू ॥
सुनि निषाद निज-भाग बड़ाई । प्रमुदित मन लइ चलेउ लेवाई ॥
kahahiॅ laheu ehiṃ jīvana-lāhū | bheṃṭeu rāmabhadra bhari bāhū ||
suni niṣāda nija-bhāga bar̤āī | pramudita mana lai caleu levāī ||
सनकारे सेवक सकल, चले स्वामि रुख पाइ ।
घर तरु-तर सर बाग बन, बास बनाएन्हि जाइ ॥
sanakāre sevaka sakala, cale svāmi rukha pāi |
ghara taru-tara sara bāga bana, bāsa banāenhi jāi ||
