मुनि तव चरन देखि कह राऊ । कहि न सकउँ निज पुन्य प्राभाऊ ॥
सुन्दर स्याम गौर दोउ भ्राता । आनँदहू के आनँद दाता ॥
muni tava carana dekhi kaha rāū | kahi na sakaum̐ nija punya prābhāū ||
sundara syāma gaura dou bhrātā | ānam̐dahū ke ānam̐da dātā ||

What happens in this chapter
Janaka lodges the guests in a fine palace
Janaka tells the muni he cannot describe the merit that has brought him to these feet. The two brothers give joy even to joy itself, and their love for each other is pure, natural, like that between Brahman and the jiva. The king gazes at the Lord again and again, thrilling with eagerness. Bowing to the muni, he leads them into the city, gives them a lovely palace pleasant at every season, sees to every service and goes home. Rama takes food and rest with the rishis and sits with His brother, with a quarter of the day still left.
इन्ह कै प्रीति परसपर पावनि । कहि न जाइ मन भाव सुहावनि ॥
सुनहु नाथ कह मुदित बिदेहू । ब्रह्म-जीव इव सहज सनेहू ॥
inha kai prīti parasapara pāvani | kahi na jāi mana bhāva suhāvani ||
sunahu nātha kaha mudita bidehū | brahma-jīva iva sahaja sanehū ||
पुनि पुनि प्रभुहि चितव नरनाहू । पुलक गात उर अधिक उछाहू ॥
मुनिहि प्रसंसि नाइ पद सीसू । चलेउ लवाइ नगर अवनीसू ॥
puni puni prabhuhi citava naranāhū | pulaka gāta ura adhika uchāhū ||
munihi prasaṃsi nāi pada sīsū | caleu lavāi nagara avanīsū ||
सुन्दर सदन सुखद सब काला । तहाँ बास लेइ दीन्ह भुआला ॥
करि पूजा सब बिधि सेवकाई । गयउ राउ गृह विदा कराई ॥
sundara sadana sukhada saba kālā | tahām̐ bāsa lei dīnha bhuālā ||
kari pūjā saba bidhi sevakāī | gayau rāu gṛha vidā karāī ||
रिषय सङ्ग रघुबंस-मनि, करि भोजन बिश्रामु ।
बैठे प्रभु भ्राता सहित, दिवस रहा भरि जाम ॥
riṣaya saṅga raghubaṃsa-mani, kari bhojana biśrāmu |
baiṭhe prabhu bhrātā sahita, divasa rahā bhari jāma ||
