राम-भरत-गुन-गनत सप्रीती । निसि दम्पतिहि पलक सम बीती ॥
राज समाज प्रात जुग जागे । न्हाइ न्हाइ सुर पूजन लागे ॥
rāma-bharata-guna-ganata saprītī | nisi dampatihi palaka sama bītī ||
rāja samāja prāta juga jāge | nhāi nhāi sura pūjana lāge ||

What happens in this chapter
Rama asks Vasishtha to decide for all
Counting the virtues of Rama and Bharata, Janaka and Sunaina find the night gone in a blink. At dawn both royal camps wake, bathe and worship the gods. Raghurai bathes, goes to the guru, bows at his feet and speaks: Lord, Bharata, the citizens and the mothers are stricken with grief; the king of Mithila and his people have borne hardship for many days. Do what is fitting, Lord; the good of all is in your hands. Having said this, Rama is abashed, and the muni thrills to see his courtesy. Without you, Rama, says Vasishtha, all comforts are like hell to both royal companies. You are the life of life and the joy of joy; those who like home without you have fate against them.
गे नहाइ गुरु पहिँ रघुराई । बन्दि चरन बोले रुख पाई ॥
नाथ भरत पुरजन महँतारी । सोक बिकल बनबास दुखारी ॥
ge nahāi guru pahim̐ raghurāī | bandi carana bole rukha pāī ||
nātha bharata purajana maham̐tārī | soka bikala banabāsa dukhārī ||
सहित समाज राउ मिथिलेसू । बहुत दिवस भये सहत कलेसू ॥
उचित होइ सोइ कीजिय नाथा । हित सबही कर रौरें हाथा ॥
sahita samāja rāu mithilesū | bahuta divasa bhaye sahata kalesū ||
ucita hoi soi kījiya nāthā | hita sabahī kara raureṃ hāthā ||
अस कहि अति सकुचे रघुराऊ । मुनि पुलके लखि सील सुभाऊ ॥
तुम्ह बिनु राम सकल सुख साजा । नरक सरिस दुहुँ राज-समाजा ॥
asa kahi ati sakuce raghurāū | muni pulake lakhi sīla subhāū ||
tumha binu rāma sakala sukha sājā | naraka sarisa duhum̐ rāja-samājā ||
प्रान प्रान के जीव के, जिव सुख के सुख राम ।
तुम्ह तजि तात सोहात गृह, जिन्हहिं तिन्हहिं बिधि बाम ॥
prāna prāna ke jīva ke, jiva sukha ke sukha rāma |
tumha taji tāta sohāta gṛha, jinhahiṃ tinhahiṃ bidhi bāma ||
