देखन बाग कुअँर दुइ आये । बय-किसोर सब भाँति सुहाये ॥
स्याम गौर किमि कहउँ बखानी । गिरा अनयन नयन बिनु बानी ॥
dekhana bāga kuam̐ra dui āye | baya-kisora saba bhām̐ti suhāye ||
syāma gaura kimi kahaum̐ bakhānī | girā anayana nayana binu bānī ||

What happens in this chapter
The companion describes the two princes
The companion answers that two young princes, one dark and one fair, have come to see the garden. How can she describe them, when the tongue has no eyes and the eyes have no tongue? The wise friends rejoice, sensing Sita's eagerness. One says these must be the king's sons who came yesterday with the muni, whose beauty has enchanted the whole city; they must surely be seen. Sita's eyes grow restless for a sight of him. Putting that friend in front, she sets off, and no one guesses the ancient love behind it. Remembering Narada's words, a pure love rises, and she looks about startled, like a frightened fawn.
सुनि हरषीँ सब सखीं सयानी । सिय हियँ अति उतकंठा जानी ॥
एक कहइ नृप सुत तेइ आली । सुने जे मुनि सँग आये काली ॥
suni haraṣīm̐ saba sakhīṃ sayānī | siya hiyam̐ ati utakaṃṭhā jānī ||
eka kahai nṛpa suta tei ālī | sune je muni sam̐ga āye kālī ||
जिन्ह निज रूप मोहनी डारी । कीन्ह स्वबस नगर-नर-नारी ॥
बरनत छवि जहँ तहँ सब लोगू । अवसि देखिअहिं देखन जोगू ॥
jinha nija rūpa mohanī ḍārī | kīnha svabasa nagara-nara-nārī ||
baranata chavi jaham̐ taham̐ saba logū | avasi dekhiahiṃ dekhana jogū ||
तासु वचन अति सियहि सुहाने । दरस लागि लोचन अकुलाने ॥
चलीँ अग्र करि प्रिय सखि सोई । प्रीति पुरातन लखइ न कोई ॥
tāsu vacana ati siyahi suhāne | darasa lāgi locana akulāne ||
calīm̐ agra kari priya sakhi soī | prīti purātana lakhai na koī ||
सुमिरि सीय नारद बचन, उपजी प्रीति पुनीत ।
चकित बिलोकति सकल दिसि, जनु सिसु मृगी सभीत ॥
sumiri sīya nārada bacana, upajī prīti punīta |
cakita bilokati sakala disi, janu sisu mṛgī sabhīta ||
