तापस बेष जनक सिय देखी । भयउ पेमु परितोष बिसेखी ॥
पुत्रि पवित्र किये कुल दोऊ । सुजस धवल जग कह सब कोऊ ॥
tāpasa beṣa janaka siya dekhī | bhayau pemu paritoṣa bisekhī ||
putri pavitra kiye kula doū | sujasa dhavala jaga kaha saba koū ||

What happens in this chapter
Janaka praises Sita; Sunaina tells of Bharata
Daughter, he says, you have sanctified both families; the whole world speaks of your bright fame. Your river of glory has outrun the Ganga and travelled through crores of universes; the Ganga has three great places on earth, but yours has made countless gatherings of saints. Hearing her father's loving truth, Sita seems to sink into shyness. Sita, abashed, does not say it, but feels it is not right to stay the night here. Reading her face, the queen tells the king, who praises her modesty in his heart. Meeting her again and again, they send her off with honour, and the wise queen, finding the moment, tells Janaka of Bharata's state.
जिति सुरसरि कीरति-सरि तोरी । गवन कीन्ह बिधि अंड करोरी ॥
गंग अवनि थल तीनि बड़ेरे । एहिं किए साधु समाज घनेरे ॥
jiti surasari kīrati-sari torī | gavana kīnha bidhi aṃḍa karorī ||
gaṃga avani thala tīni bar̤ere | ehiṃ kie sādhu samāja ghanere ||
पितु कह सत्य सनेहँ सुबानी । सीय सकुच महँ मनहुँ समानी ॥
पुनि पितु मातु लीन्हि उर लाई । सिख आसिष हित दीन्हि सुहाई ॥
pitu kaha satya saneham̐ subānī | sīya sakuca maham̐ manahum̐ samānī ||
puni pitu mātu līnhi ura lāī | sikha āsiṣa hita dīnhi suhāī ||
कहति न सीय सकुचि मन माहीँ । इहाँ बसब रजनीं भल नाहीॅं ॥
लखि रुख रानि जनायउ राऊ । हृदयँ सराहत सील सुभाऊ ॥
kahati na sīya sakuci mana māhīm̐ | ihām̐ basaba rajanīṃ bhala nāhīॅṃ ||
lakhi rukha rāni janāyau rāū | hṛdayam̐ sarāhata sīla subhāū ||
बार बार मिलि भेँट सिय, बिदा कीन्हि सनमानि ।
कही समय सिर भरत-गति, रानि सुबानि सयानि ॥
bāra bāra mili bhem̐ṭa siya, bidā kīnhi sanamāni |
kahī samaya sira bharata-gati, rāni subāni sayāni ||
