सुभग द्वार सब कुलिस कपाटा । भूप भीर नट मागध भाटा ॥
बनी बिसाल बाजि-गज-साला । हय-गय-रथ सङ्कुल सब काला ॥
subhaga dvāra saba kulisa kapāṭā | bhūpa bhīra naṭa māgadha bhāṭā ||
banī bisāla bāji-gaja-sālā | haya-gaya-ratha saṅkula saba kālā ||

What happens in this chapter
The party camps in a mango grove
The palace gates have doors strong as thunderbolts and are crowded with kings, dancers and bards; the stables are always full of horses, elephants and chariots, and the ministers live in houses like the king's. Many kings have camped outside the city by the lakes and rivers. Seeing a lovely mango grove, Vishvamitra says: my mind is set on this; let us stay here, Raghuvira. Very well, Lord, says Rama, and halts there with the munis. When Janaka hears the great muni has come, he sets out gladly to meet him with ministers, warriors, Brahmanas, his guru and kinsmen.
सूर सचिव सेनप बहुतेरे । नृप गृह सरिस सदन सब केरे ॥
पुर बाहेर सर सारित समीपा । उतरे जहँ तहँ बिपुल महीपा ॥
sūra saciva senapa bahutere | nṛpa gṛha sarisa sadana saba kere ||
pura bāhera sara sārita samīpā | utare jaham̐ taham̐ bipula mahīpā ||
देखि अनूप एक अँबराई । सब सुपास सब भाँति सुहाई ॥
कौसिक कहेउ मोर मन माना । इहाँ रहिय रघुबीर सुजाना ॥
dekhi anūpa eka am̐barāī | saba supāsa saba bhām̐ti suhāī ||
kausika kaheu mora mana mānā | ihām̐ rahiya raghubīra sujānā ||
भलेहिं नाथ कहि कृपा निकेता । उतरे तहँ मुनि-वृन्द समेता ॥
बिस्वामित्र महामुनि आये । समाचार मिथिलापति पाये ॥
bhalehiṃ nātha kahi kṛpā niketā | utare taham̐ muni-vṛnda sametā ||
bisvāmitra mahāmuni āye | samācāra mithilāpati pāye ||
सङ्ग सचिव सुचि भूरि भट, भूसुर बर गुरु ज्ञाति ।
चले मिलन मुनिनायकहि, मुदित राउ एहि भाँति ॥
saṅga saciva suci bhūri bhaṭa, bhūsura bara guru jñāti |
cale milana munināyakahi, mudita rāu ehi bhām̐ti ||
