कामद से गिरि राम प्रसादा । अवलोकत अपहरत बिषादा ॥
सर सरिता बन भूमि विभागा । जनु उमगत आनंद अनुरागा ॥
kāmada se giri rāma prasādā | avalokata apaharata biṣādā ||
sara saritā bana bhūmi vibhāgā | janu umagata ānaṃda anurāgā ||

What happens in this chapter
The forest hosts Janaka's people
By Rama's grace the hills have become like Kamadgiri, granting every wish; one look at them takes sorrow away. Lakes, streams, woods and meadows seem to overflow with joy and love. Creepers and trees all bear fruit and flower; birds, deer and bees call sweetly; a cool, soft, fragrant breeze pleases everyone. Its charm cannot be told; it is as if the earth herself were playing host to Janaka. When all have bathed, with leave from Rama, Janaka and the muni, the citizens settle under trees they love, here and there. Rama's guru sends them loads of leaves, fruits, roots and bulbs, pure and sweet as nectar, and after worshipping ancestors, gods, guests and guru, they begin their meal of fruit.
बेलि बिटप सब सफल सफूला । बोलत खग मृग अलि अनुकूला ॥
तेहि अवसर बन अधिक उछाहू । त्रिबिधि समीर सुखद सब काहू ॥
beli biṭapa saba saphala saphūlā | bolata khaga mṛga ali anukūlā ||
tehi avasara bana adhika uchāhū | tribidhi samīra sukhada saba kāhū ||
जाइ न बरनि मनोहरताई । जनु महि करति जनक पहुनाई ॥
तब सब लोग नहाइ नहाई । राम-जनक-मुनि आयसु पाई ॥
jāi na barani manoharatāī | janu mahi karati janaka pahunāī ||
taba saba loga nahāi nahāī | rāma-janaka-muni āyasu pāī ||
देखि देखि तरुबर अनुरागे । जहँ तहँ पुरजन उतरन लागे ॥
दल फल मूल कन्द बिधि नाना । पावन सुन्दर सुधा समाना ॥
dekhi dekhi tarubara anurāge | jaham̐ taham̐ purajana utarana lāge ||
dala phala mūla kanda bidhi nānā | pāvana sundara sudhā samānā ||
सादर सब कहँ राम-गुरु, पठये भरि भरि भार ।
पूजि पितर सुर अतिथि गुरु, लगे करन फरहार ॥
sādara saba kaham̐ rāma-guru, paṭhaye bhari bhari bhāra |
pūji pitara sura atithi guru, lage karana pharahāra ||
