मुदित महीपति मन्दिर आये । सेवक सचिव सुमन्त्र बोलाये ॥
कहि जयजीव सीस तिन्ह नाये । भूप सुमङ्गल बचन सुनाये ॥
mudita mahīpati mandira āye | sevaka saciva sumantra bolāye ||
kahi jayajīva sīsa tinha nāye | bhūpa sumaṅgala bacana sunāye ||

What happens in this chapter
The ministers welcome the king's decision
The king returns to his palace and calls his servants, his ministers and Sumantra. They hail him and bow, and he gives the good news: today the guru has said that Rama should be made yuvaraja. If the elders also approve, he says, then joyfully place the tilak on Rama. The ministers are as glad as a cherished sapling receiving water. With joined hands they pray that the lord of the world may live for crores of years. This is a good work for the whole world, they say; do it quickly, without delay. Their words make the king's joy spread like a climbing vine that has found a strong branch. He tells them to carry out at once every order the great muni gives for Rama's consecration.
जौँ पाँचहि मत लागइ नीका । करहु हरषि हियँ रामहिँ टीका ॥
मंत्री मुदित सुनत प्रिय बानी । अभिमत बिरवँ परेउ जनु पानी ॥
jaum̐ pām̐cahi mata lāgai nīkā | karahu haraṣi hiyam̐ rāmahim̐ ṭīkā ||
maṃtrī mudita sunata priya bānī | abhimata biravam̐ pareu janu pānī ||
बिनती सचिव करहिँ कर जोरी । जिअहु जगतपति बरिस करोरी ॥
जग मङ्गल भल काज बिचारा । बेगिअ नाथ न लाइअ बारा ॥
binatī saciva karahim̐ kara jorī | jiahu jagatapati barisa karorī ||
jaga maṅgala bhala kāja bicārā | begia nātha na lāia bārā ||
नृपहि मोद सुनि सचिव सुभाखा । बढ़त बौंड़ जनु लही सुसाखा ॥
nṛpahi moda suni saciva subhākhā | bar̤hata bauṃr̤a janu lahī susākhā ||
कहेउ भूप मुनिराज कर, जोइ जोइ आयसु होइ ।
राम-राज-अभिषेक हित, बेगि करहु सोइ सोइ ॥
kaheu bhūpa munirāja kara, joi joi āyasu hoi |
rāma-rāja-abhiṣeka hita, begi karahu soi soi ||
