सो सुख करम धरम जरि जाऊ । जहँ न राम-पद-पङ्कज भाऊ ॥
जोग कुजोग ज्ञान अज्ञानू । जहँ नहिँ राम प्रेम परधानू ॥
so sukha karama dharama jari jāū | jaham̐ na rāma-pada-paṅkaja bhāū ||
joga kujoga jñāna ajñānū | jaham̐ nahim̐ rāma prema paradhānū ||

What happens in this chapter
Vasishtha brings Rama's words to Janaka
Let that happiness, karma and dharma burn, Vasishtha says, where there is no love for Rama's lotus feet; yoga is bad yoga and knowledge is ignorance where love of Rama is not first. Without you all are sad, with you all are happy; you know what is in every heart. Your command is on everyone's head, and you know every state well. Go back to your hermitage now. The great muni is slack with love. Rama leaves, and the rishi goes to Janaka. He tells the king Rama's words, lovely with courtesy, affection and natural goodness. Great king, he says, now do what serves the welfare of all along with dharma. You are wise and steady in dharma; who but you can end this dilemma now?
तुम्ह बिनु दुखी सुखी तुम्ह तेहीं । तुम्ह जानहु जिय जो जेहि केहीं ॥
राउर आयसु सिर सबही कें । बिदित कृपालहि गति सब नीकें ॥
tumha binu dukhī sukhī tumha tehīṃ | tumha jānahu jiya jo jehi kehīṃ ||
rāura āyasu sira sabahī keṃ | bidita kṛpālahi gati saba nīkeṃ ||
आपु आश्रमहिं धारिअ पाऊ । भयउ सनेह सिथिल मुनिराऊ ॥
करि प्रनाम तब राम सिधाये । रिषि धरि धीर जनक पहिँ आये ॥
āpu āśramahiṃ dhāria pāū | bhayau saneha sithila munirāū ||
kari pranāma taba rāma sidhāye | riṣi dhari dhīra janaka pahim̐ āye ||
राम बचन गुरु नृपहि सुनाये । सील सनेह सुभायँ सुहाये ॥
महाराज अब कीजिय सोई । सब कर धरम सहित हित होई ॥
rāma bacana guru nṛpahi sunāye | sīla saneha subhāyam̐ suhāye ||
mahārāja aba kījiya soī | saba kara dharama sahita hita hoī ||
ज्ञान-निधान सुजान सुचि, धरम धीर नरपाल ।
तुम्ह बिनु असमञ्जस समन, को समरथ एहि काल ॥
jñāna-nidhāna sujāna suci, dharama dhīra narapāla |
tumha binu asamañjasa samana, ko samaratha ehi kāla ||
