यह रहस्य काहू नहिँ जाना । दिन-मनि चले करत गुन गाना ॥
देखि महोत्सव सुर मुनि नागा । चले भवन बरनत निज भागा ॥
yaha rahasya kāhū nahim̐ jānā | dina-mani cale karata guna gānā ||
dekhi mahotsava sura muni nāgā | cale bhavana baranata nija bhāgā ||

What happens in this chapter
Shiva and Kakabhushundi wander Ayodhya unseen
No one learns this secret, and the Sun moves on at last singing the Lord's praise. Devas, munis and nagas, having seen the festival, go home speaking of their good fortune. Shiva then confesses a theft of his own to Girija, whose mind is firm: Kakabhushundi and I were both there in human form, and no one knew us. Swelling with supreme joy and love, we roamed the lanes lost to ourselves. Only one on whom Rama's grace rests can know this holy deed. At that time the king gives each person whatever he wishes, however he came: elephants, chariots, horses, gold, cows, diamonds and many kinds of cloth. Everyone is content and blesses the children everywhere: may all the sons live long, these Lords of Tulsidas.
औरउ एक कहउँ निज चोरी । सुनु गिरिजा अति दृढ़ मति तोरी ॥
काक भुसुंडि सङ्ग हम दोऊ । मनुज-रूप जानइ नहिँ कोऊ ॥
aurau eka kahaum̐ nija corī | sunu girijā ati dṛr̤ha mati torī ||
kāka bhusuṃḍi saṅga hama doū | manuja-rūpa jānai nahim̐ koū ||
परमानन्द प्रेम-सुख फूले । बीथिन्ह फिरहिँ मगन मन भूले ॥
यह सुभ चरित जान पै सोई । कृपा राम कै जा पर होई ॥
paramānanda prema-sukha phūle | bīthinha phirahim̐ magana mana bhūle ||
yaha subha carita jāna pai soī | kṛpā rāma kai jā para hoī ||
तेहि अवसर जो जेहि बिधि आवा । दीन्ह भूप जो जेहि मन भावा ॥
गज रथ तुरग हेम गो हीरा । दीन्हे नृप नाना बिधि चीरा ॥
tehi avasara jo jehi bidhi āvā | dīnha bhūpa jo jehi mana bhāvā ||
gaja ratha turaga hema go hīrā | dīnhe nṛpa nānā bidhi cīrā ||
मन संतोषे सबन्हि के, जहँ तहँ देहिँ असीस ।
सकल तनय चिरजीवहु, तुलसिदास के ईस ॥
mana saṃtoṣe sabanhi ke, jaham̐ taham̐ dehim̐ asīsa |
sakala tanaya cirajīvahu, tulasidāsa ke īsa ||
