वृथा मरहु जनि गाल बजाई । मन-मोदकन्हि कि भूख बुताई ॥
सिख हमारि सुनि परम पुनीता । जगदम्बा जानहु जियँ सीता ॥
vṛthā marahu jani gāla bajāī | mana-modakanhi ki bhūkha butāī ||
sikha hamāri suni parama punītā | jagadambā jānahu jiyam̐ sītā ||

What happens in this chapter
The good kings counsel, and Sita is called
The devout kings go on: do not die in vain with empty boasting; can a sweet imagined in the mind cure hunger? Know Sita as the Mother of the world and Shri Rama as its Father, and drink in their beauty with your eyes. These two lovely brothers, full of every virtue, dwell in Shambhu's heart. Why leave the ocean of nectar nearby to die chasing a mirage? Do as you please; we have gained the fruit of our birth today. So saying, they gaze lovingly at him. Devas watch from vimanas, raining flowers and singing. Knowing the moment is right, Janaka sends for Sita, and her friends bring her with honour.
जगत पिता रघुपतिहि बिचारी । भरि लोचन छबि लेहु निहारी ॥
सुन्दर सुखद सकल-गुन-रासी । ये दोउ बन्धु सम्भु-उर-बासी ॥
jagata pitā raghupatihi bicārī | bhari locana chabi lehu nihārī ||
sundara sukhada sakala-guna-rāsī | ye dou bandhu sambhu-ura-bāsī ||
सुधा समुद्र समीप बिहाई । मृग-जल निरखि मरहु कत धाई ॥
करहु जाइ जा कहँ जोइ भावा । हम तो आजु जनम-फल पावा ॥
sudhā samudra samīpa bihāī | mṛga-jala nirakhi marahu kata dhāī ||
karahu jāi jā kaham̐ joi bhāvā | hama to āju janama-phala pāvā ||
अस कहि भले भूप अनुरागे । रूप अनूप बिलोकन लागे ॥
देखहिँ सुर नभ चढ़े बिमाना । बरषहिँ सुमन करहिं कल गाना ॥
asa kahi bhale bhūpa anurāge | rūpa anūpa bilokana lāge ||
dekhahim̐ sura nabha car̤he bimānā | baraṣahim̐ sumana karahiṃ kala gānā ||
जानि सुअवसर सीय तब, पठई जनक बोलाइ ।
चतुर सखीं सुन्दर सकल, सादर चलीँ लेवाइ ॥
jāni suavasara sīya taba, paṭhaī janaka bolāi |
catura sakhīṃ sundara sakala, sādara calīm̐ levāi ||
