तात जनक तनया यह सोई । धनुषजग्य जेहि कारन होई ॥
पूजन गौरि सखीं लेइ आई । करत प्रकास फिरइ फुलवाई ॥
tāta janaka tanayā yaha soī | dhanuṣajagya jehi kārana hoī ||
pūjana gauri sakhīṃ lei āī | karata prakāsa phirai phulavāī ||

What happens in this chapter
Shri Rama speaks of Raghu dharma
Shri Rama tells Lakshmana that this is Janaka's daughter, for whom the bow sacrifice is being held; she has come to worship Gauri and moves through the garden spreading light. Her unearthly beauty has stirred his naturally pure mind. Only the Creator knows why, and his auspicious limbs are throbbing. It is the nature of the Raghus never to set foot on a wrong path, he says, and his mind has never looked at another's wife even in a dream. Few men are like those whose back no enemy sees in battle, whose heart no other woman takes, and from whom no beggar hears a refusal. Even as he talks, his mind drinks her beauty like a bee at a lotus.
जासु बिलोकि अलौकिक सोभा । सहज पुनीत मोर मन छोभा ॥
सो सब कारन जान बिधाता । फरकहिँ सुभग अङ्ग सुनु भ्राता ॥
jāsu biloki alaukika sobhā | sahaja punīta mora mana chobhā ||
so saba kārana jāna bidhātā | pharakahim̐ subhaga aṅga sunu bhrātā ||
रघुवंसिन्ह कर सहज सुभाऊ । मनु कुपन्थ पग धरइ न काऊ ॥
मोहि अतिसय प्रतीति मन केरी । जेहिं सपनेहुँ पर-नारि न हेरी ॥
raghuvaṃsinha kara sahaja subhāū | manu kupantha paga dharai na kāū ||
mohi atisaya pratīti mana kerī | jehiṃ sapanehum̐ para-nāri na herī ||
जिन्ह कै लहहिँ न रिपु रन पीठी । नहिँ पावहिँ परतिय मन डीठी ॥
मङ्गन लहहिँ न जिन्ह के नाहीँ । ते नर बर थोरे जग माहीँ ॥
jinha kai lahahim̐ na ripu rana pīṭhī | nahim̐ pāvahim̐ paratiya mana ḍīṭhī ||
maṅgana lahahim̐ na jinha ke nāhīm̐ | te nara bara thore jaga māhīm̐ ||
करत बतकही अनुज सन, मन सिय रूप लोभान ।
मुख-सरोज मकरन्द-छबि, करइ मधुप इव पान ॥
karata batakahī anuja sana, mana siya rūpa lobhāna |
mukha-saroja makaranda-chabi, karai madhupa iva pāna ||
