कहइ भुआल सुनिय मुनिनायक । भये राम सब-बिधि सब-लायक ॥
सेवक सचिव सकल पुरबासी । जे हमारे अरि मित्र उदासी ॥
kahai bhuāla suniya munināyaka | bhaye rāma saba-bidhi saba-lāyaka ||
sevaka saciva sakala purabāsī | je hamāre ari mitra udāsī ||

Chapter 3: The king speaks his wish to Vasishtha
5 verses · 3 of 326
What happens in this chapter
The king speaks his wish to Vasishtha
Dasharatha addresses Vasishtha as chief of munis. Rama has become fit in every way, he says. Servants, ministers, citizens, and even the king's enemies, friends and neutrals, all love Rama as he does, as if the guru's blessing had taken a body in him. The brahmanas and their families cherish Rama just as the guru does. Whoever puts the dust of the guru's feet on his head masters every kind of wealth, and none has known this like the king, who gained everything by worshipping that dust. One wish remains, to be fulfilled by the guru's grace. Seeing his simple love, the muni asks for his command, saying that the king's name and fame grant every desire.
सबहिँ राम प्रिय जेहि बिधि मोही । प्रभु असीस जनु तनु धरि सोही ॥
बिप्र सहित परिवार गोसाँई । करहिँ छोह सब रौरिहि नाँई ॥
sabahim̐ rāma priya jehi bidhi mohī | prabhu asīsa janu tanu dhari sohī ||
bipra sahita parivāra gosām̐ī | karahim̐ choha saba raurihi nām̐ī ||
जे गुरु-चरन-रेनु सिर धरहीँ । ते जनु सकल बिभव बस करहीँ ॥
मोहि सम यह अनुभयउ न दूजें । सब पायउँ रज-पावनि पूजें ॥
je guru-carana-renu sira dharahīm̐ | te janu sakala bibhava basa karahīm̐ ||
mohi sama yaha anubhayau na dūjeṃ | saba pāyaum̐ raja-pāvani pūjeṃ ||
अब अभिलाष एक मन मोरें । पूजिहि नाथ अनुग्रह तोरें ॥
मुनि प्रसन्न लखि सहज-सनेहू । कहेउ नरेस रजायसु देहू ॥
aba abhilāṣa eka mana moreṃ | pūjihi nātha anugraha toreṃ ||
muni prasanna lakhi sahaja-sanehū | kaheu naresa rajāyasu dehū ||
राजन राउर नाम जस, सब अभिमत-दातार ।
फल अनुगामी महिप-मनि, मन-अभिलाष तुम्हार ॥
rājana rāura nāma jasa, saba abhimata-dātāra |
phala anugāmī mahipa-mani, mana-abhilāṣa tumhāra ||
