सेवक बचन सत्य सब जाने । आश्रम निकट जाइ निअराने ॥
भरत दीख बन सैल समाजू । मुदित छुधित जनु पाइ सुनाजू ॥
sevaka bacana satya saba jāne | āśrama nikaṭa jāi niarāne ||
bharata dīkha bana saila samājū | mudita chudhita janu pāi sunājū ||

What happens in this chapter
The forest of Chitrakoot as a well-ruled kingdom
They draw near the hermitage. Seeing the forest and hills, he is glad as a starving man who finds good grain. His state is like that of subjects plagued by famine and fear, tormented by the three afflictions and bad planets, who reach a well-ruled land and find ease. Where Rama lives, the forest glows like a happy people under a good king. Tulsidas draws the picture: dispassion is the minister, the lovely holy forest is the country, yama and niyama are the warriors, the hill is the capital, and peace and good sense are the pure queen. The king is complete in every limb, his heart resting on Rama's feet. Having beaten King Delusion's army, King Discernment rules a kingdom free of thorns.
ईति भीति जनु प्रजा दुखारी । त्रिबिधि ताप पीड़ित ग्रह भारी ॥
जाइ सुराज सुदेस सुखारी । होहिं भरत गति तेहि अनुहारी ॥
īti bhīti janu prajā dukhārī | tribidhi tāpa pīr̤ita graha bhārī ||
jāi surāja sudesa sukhārī | hohiṃ bharata gati tehi anuhārī ||
राम-बास बन सम्पति भ्राजा । सुखी प्रजा जनु पाइ सुराजा ॥
सचिव बिराग बिबेकु नरेसू । विपिन सुहावन-पावन देसू ॥
rāma-bāsa bana sampati bhrājā | sukhī prajā janu pāi surājā ||
saciva birāga bibeku naresū | vipina suhāvana-pāvana desū ||
भट जम-नियम सैल-रजधानी । सान्ति सुमति सुचि सुन्दर रानी ॥
सकल अङ्ग सम्पन्न सुराऊ । राम चरन आश्रित चित चाऊ ॥
bhaṭa jama-niyama saila-rajadhānī | sānti sumati suci sundara rānī ||
sakala aṅga sampanna surāū | rāma carana āśrita cita cāū ||
जीति मोहि-महिपाल दल, सहित बिबेक भुआल ।
करत अकंटक राजु पुरँ, सुख सम्पदा सुकाल ॥
jīti mohi-mahipāla dala, sahita bibeka bhuāla |
karata akaṃṭaka rāju puram̐, sukha sampadā sukāla ||
