गये देव सब निज निज धामा । भूमि सहित मन कहँ बिस्रामा ॥
जो कछु आयसु ब्रह्माँ दीन्हा । हरषे देव बिलम्ब न कीन्हा ॥
gaye deva saba nija nija dhāmā | bhūmi sahita mana kaham̐ bisrāmā ||
jo kachu āyasu brahmām̐ dīnhā | haraṣe deva bilamba na kīnhā ||

What happens in this chapter
Devas take vanara birth; King Dasharatha introduced
The devas return home and the Earth is at rest. Glad of Brahma's order, they lose no time and take birth on earth as forest-dwellers of matchless strength. Their weapons are mountains, trees and claws, and they wait steadily for Hari to come, filling the hills and forests in troops of their own. The poet now returns to the thread he had set aside. In Avadhpuri reigns Dasharatha, jewel of the Raghu line, praised in the Veda, a pillar of dharma, wise and devoted to the Lord who bears the Sharnga bow. His dear queens, Kausalya and the others, are pure in conduct, true to their husband and humble at Hari's lotus feet.
बनचर देइ धरी छिति माहीँ । अतुलित बल-प्रताप तिन्ह पाहीँ ॥
गिरि-तरु-नख आयुध सब बीरा । हरि मारग चितवहिँ मतिधीरा ॥
banacara dei dharī chiti māhīm̐ | atulita bala-pratāpa tinha pāhīm̐ ||
giri-taru-nakha āyudha saba bīrā | hari māraga citavahim̐ matidhīrā ||
गिरि कानन जहँ तहँ महि पूरी । रहे निज निज अनीक रचि रूरी ॥
यह सब रुचिर चरित मैँ भाखा । अब सो सुनहु जो बीचहिं राखा ॥
giri kānana jaham̐ taham̐ mahi pūrī | rahe nija nija anīka raci rūrī ||
yaha saba rucira carita maim̐ bhākhā | aba so sunahu jo bīcahiṃ rākhā ||
अवधपुरीं रघुकुल-मनि राऊ । बेद बिदित तेहि दसरथ नाऊँ ॥
धरम-धुरन्धर गुन-निधि ज्ञानी । हृदयँ भगति मति सारँग-पानी ॥
avadhapurīṃ raghukula-mani rāū | beda bidita tehi dasaratha nāūm̐ ||
dharama-dhurandhara guna-nidhi jñānī | hṛdayam̐ bhagati mati sāram̐ga-pānī ||
कौसल्यादि नारि प्रिय, सब आचरन पुनीत ।
पति अनुकूल प्रेम दृढ़, हरि-पद-कमल बिनीत ॥
kausalyādi nāri priya, saba ācarana punīta |
pati anukūla prema dṛr̤ha, hari-pada-kamala binīta ||
