गुरु तिय पद बन्दे दुहुँ भाई । सहित बिप्र लिय जे सँग आई ॥
गंग गौरि सम सब सनमानीं । देहिँ असीस मुदित मृदु बानी ॥
guru tiya pada bande duhum̐ bhāī | sahita bipra liya je sam̐ga āī ||
gaṃga gauri sama saba sanamānīṃ | dehim̐ asīsa mudita mṛdu bānī ||

What happens in this chapter
The brothers bow to the mothers and guru's wife
The two brothers bow at the feet of the guru's wife Arundhati and the brahmin wives who came with her; all bless them. They clasp Sumitra's feet and cling to her lap, like a pauper finding treasure. Then both fall at their own mother Kaushalya's feet. All the mothers are overcome with love; they hold them close and bathe them in tears. How can a poet tell the joy and sorrow of that hour? As well ask a mute to describe a taste. After meeting the mothers, Rama asks the guru to come to the hermitage. On the sage's word the townsfolk camp where they find water and ground. Bharata, Lakshmana and Rama bring the brahmins, ministers, mothers and guru to the holy hermitage.
गहि पद लगे सुमित्रा अङ्का । जनु भेटीं सम्पति अति रङ्का ॥
पुनि जननी चरनन्हि दोउ भ्राता । परे प्रेम व्याकुल सब माता ॥
gahi pada lage sumitrā aṅkā | janu bheṭīṃ sampati ati raṅkā ||
puni jananī carananhi dou bhrātā | pare prema vyākula saba mātā ||
अति अनुराग अम्ब उर लाये । नयन सनेह सलिल अन्हवाये ॥
तेहि अवसर कर हरष बिषादू । किमि कवि कहइ मूक जिमि स्वादू ॥
ati anurāga amba ura lāye | nayana saneha salila anhavāye ||
tehi avasara kara haraṣa biṣādū | kimi kavi kahai mūka jimi svādū ||
मिलि जननिहि सानुज रघुराऊ । गुरु सन कहेउ कि धारिअ पाऊ ॥
पुरजन पाइ मुनीस नियोगू । जल थल तकि तकि उतरेउ लोगू ॥
mili jananihi sānuja raghurāū | guru sana kaheu ki dhāria pāū ||
purajana pāi munīsa niyogū | jala thala taki taki utareu logū ||
महिसुर मन्त्री मातु गुरु, गने लोग लिए साथ ।
पावन आश्रम गवन किय, भरत लखन रघुनाथ ॥
mahisura mantrī mātu guru, gane loga lie sātha |
pāvana āśrama gavana kiya, bharata lakhana raghunātha ||
