सब बिधि गुरु प्रसन्न जियँ जानी । बोलेउ राउ रहँसि मृदु-बानी ॥
नाथ राम करिअहिं जुबराजू । कहिय कृपा करि करिय समाजू ॥
saba bidhi guru prasanna jiyam̐ jānī | boleu rāu raham̐si mṛdu-bānī ||
nātha rāma kariahiṃ jubarājū | kahiya kṛpā kari kariya samājū ||

What happens in this chapter
Vasishtha blesses the plan: crown Rama soon
Knowing the guru is pleased, Dasharatha speaks softly in private. Let Rama be made yuvaraja, he asks; kindly order the preparations. Let this festival happen while I live, so all eyes may have their reward. By Shiva's grace all else has been fulfilled; this is my one longing. After it I will not care whether my body stays or goes, and nothing will be left to regret. Vasishtha is delighted. Your son, he says, is that very Lord whom people regret turning from, without whose bhajan the burning of the heart never cools; he has become your son and follows pure love. Make no delay, prepare everything now. The day is auspicious only when Rama becomes yuvaraja.
मोहि अछत यह होइ उछाहू । लहहिँ लोग सब लोचन लाहू ॥
प्रभु प्रसाद सिव सबइ निबाहीँ । यह लालसा एक मन माहीं ॥
mohi achata yaha hoi uchāhū | lahahim̐ loga saba locana lāhū ||
prabhu prasāda siva sabai nibāhīm̐ | yaha lālasā eka mana māhīṃ ||
पुनि न सोच तनु रहउ कि जाऊ । जेहिं न होइ पाछें पछिताऊ ॥
सुनि मुनि दसरथ बचन सुहाये । मङ्गल-मोद-मूल मन भाये ॥
puni na soca tanu rahau ki jāū | jehiṃ na hoi pācheṃ pachitāū ||
suni muni dasaratha bacana suhāye | maṅgala-moda-mūla mana bhāye ||
सुनु नृप जासु बिमुख पछिताहीँ । जासु भजन बिनु जरनि न जाहीं ॥
भयउ तुम्हार तनय सोइ स्वामी । राम पुनीत प्रेम अनुगामी ॥
sunu nṛpa jāsu bimukha pachitāhīm̐ | jāsu bhajana binu jarani na jāhīṃ ||
bhayau tumhāra tanaya soi svāmī | rāma punīta prema anugāmī ||
बेगि बिलम्ब न करिय नृप, साजिअ सबइ समाज ।
सुदिन सुमङ्गल तबहिँ जब, राम होहिँ जुबराज ॥
begi bilamba na kariya nṛpa, sājia sabai samāja |
sudina sumaṅgala tabahim̐ jaba, rāma hohim̐ jubarāja ||
