सखा समुझि अस परिहरि मोहु । सिय-रघुबीर-चरन-रत होहू ॥
कहत राम-गुन भा भिनुसारा । जागे जग मङ्गल-सुख दारा ॥
sakhā samujhi asa parihari mohu | siya-raghubīra-carana-rata hohū ||
kahata rāma-guna bhā bhinusārā | jāge jaga maṅgala-sukha dārā ||

What happens in this chapter
Matted locks at dawn; Sumantra pleads
Lakshmana ends: give up moha, friend, and be devoted to the feet of Sita and Raghubira. While he speaks of Rama's virtues the night ends and Rama wakes. After his bath, Rama asks for banyan sap and with his brother forms his hair into ascetic's jata. Seeing it, Sumantra's eyes fill with tears and his heart burns. With joined palms he says the king of Kosala told him to show Rama the forest, let him bathe in the Ganga and bring both brothers back quickly, bring Lakshmana, Rama and Sita home, clearing every doubt. Tell me, master, and I will do it. Pleading, he falls at Rama's feet and weeps like a child.
सकल सोच करि राम नहावा । सुचि सुजान बट-छीर मगावा ॥
अनुज सहित सिर जटा बनाये । देखि सुमन्त्र नयन-जल छाये ॥
sakala soca kari rāma nahāvā | suci sujāna baṭa-chīra magāvā ||
anuja sahita sira jaṭā banāye | dekhi sumantra nayana-jala chāye ||
हृदयँ दाह अति बदन मलीना । कह कर जोरि बचन अति दीना ॥
नाथ कहेउ अस कोसलनाथा । लै रथ जाहु राम कें साथा ॥
hṛdayam̐ dāha ati badana malīnā | kaha kara jori bacana ati dīnā ||
nātha kaheu asa kosalanāthā | lai ratha jāhu rāma keṃ sāthā ||
बन देखाइ सुरसरि अन्हवाई । आनेहु फेरि बेगि दोउ भाई ॥
लखन-राम-सिय आनेहु फेरी । संसय सकल सकोच निबेरी ॥
bana dekhāi surasari anhavāī | ānehu pheri begi dou bhāī ||
lakhana-rāma-siya ānehu pherī | saṃsaya sakala sakoca niberī ||
नृप अस कहेउ गोसाईं जस, कहिय करउँ बलि सोइ ।
करि बिनती पायन्ह परेउ, दीन्ह बाल जिमि रोइ ॥
nṛpa asa kaheu gosāīṃ jasa, kahiya karaum̐ bali soi |
kari binatī pāyanha pareu, dīnha bāla jimi roi ||
