Hearing such loving, anxious words from the citizens, even sages who prize yoga and detachment feel their dry knowledge rebuked. Each day the people bow to Shri Rama with thrilled bodies. High, low and middling, each receives darshan in his own measure, and Rama, alert, honours every one. From boyhood, they say, Raghubar has kept to right conduct and recognised love; he is an ocean of courtesy and modesty, simple by nature. Counting his virtues they bless their fortune: few are as blessed as we, whom Rama calls his own. Then word comes that the lord of Mithila is arriving, and Rama rises in haste with the whole assembly.
सुनि सनेह-भय पुरजन बानी । निन्दहिँ जोग बिरति मुनि ग्यानी ॥
एहि विधि नित्यकरम करि पुरजन । रामहिँ करहिं प्रनाम पुलकि तन ॥
suni saneha-bhaya purajana bānī | nindahim̐ joga birati muni gyānī ||
ehi vidhi nityakarama kari purajana | rāmahim̐ karahiṃ pranāma pulaki tana ||
ऊँच नीच मध्यम नर-नारी । लहहिँ दरस निज निज अनुहारी ॥
सावधान सबही सनमानहिँ । सकल सराहत कृपानिधानहिँ ॥
ūm̐ca nīca madhyama nara-nārī | lahahim̐ darasa nija nija anuhārī ||
sāvadhāna sabahī sanamānahim̐ | sakala sarāhata kṛpānidhānahim̐ ||
लरिकाइहिँ ते रघुबर बानी । पालत नीति प्रीति पहिचानी ॥
सील-सकोच-सिन्धु रघुराऊ । सुमुख सुलोचन सरल सुभाऊ ॥
larikāihim̐ te raghubara bānī | pālata nīti prīti pahicānī ||
sīla-sakoca-sindhu raghurāū | sumukha sulocana sarala subhāū ||
कहत राम गुन-गन अनुरागे । सब निज भाग सराहन लागे ॥
हम सम पुन्य-पुत्र जग थोरे । जिन्हहि राम जानत करि मोरे ॥
kahata rāma guna-gana anurāge | saba nija bhāga sarāhana lāge ||
hama sama punya-putra jaga thore | jinhahi rāma jānata kari more ||
प्रेम मगन तेहि समय सब, सुनि आवत मिथिलेस ।
सहित सभा सम्भ्रम उठेउ, रबिकुल-कमल-दिनेस ॥
prema magana tehi samaya saba, suni āvata mithilesa |
sahita sabhā sambhrama uṭheu, rabikula-kamala-dinesa ||
