गिरा-अलिनि मुख पङ्कज रोकी । प्रगट न लाज-निसा अवलोकी ॥
लोचन जल रह लोचन कोना । जैसे परम कृपन कर सोना ॥
girā-alini mukha paṅkaja rokī | pragaṭa na lāja-nisā avalokī ||
locana jala raha locana konā | jaise parama kṛpana kara sonā ||

What happens in this chapter
Sita's vow of love, and Lakshmana's call
Her speech, like a bee, is held in the lotus of her mouth by the night of modesty, and her tears stay in the corners of her eyes like gold in a miser's grip. Gathering courage and faith, she resolves: if in body, mind and word my vow is true and my heart is given to Raghupati's feet, then Bhagwan who dwells in every heart will make me his servant. Whoever loves someone with a true heart wins that one, without doubt. Shri Rama, treasury of grace, knows her vow. He glances at Sita, then at the bow, as Garuda eyes a small snake. Seeing this, Lakshmana thrills, presses the earth with his foot and speaks.
सकुची ब्याकुलता बड़ि जानी । धरि धीरज प्रतीति उर आनी ॥
तन मन बचन मोर पन साँचा । रघुपति पद सरोज चित राचा ॥
sakucī byākulatā bar̤i jānī | dhari dhīraja pratīti ura ānī ||
tana mana bacana mora pana sām̐cā | raghupati pada saroja cita rācā ||
तौ भगवान सकल उर बासी । करिहहिँ मोहि रघुपति के दासी ॥
जेहि कें जेहि पर सत्य सनेहू । सो तेहि मिलइ न कछु सन्देहू ॥
tau bhagavāna sakala ura bāsī | karihahim̐ mohi raghupati ke dāsī ||
jehi keṃ jehi para satya sanehū | so tehi milai na kachu sandehū ||
प्रभु तन चितइ प्रेम पन ठाना । कृपानिधान राम सब जाना ॥
सियहि बिलोकि तकेउ धनु कैसे । चितव गरुड़ लघु ब्यालहि जैसे ॥
prabhu tana citai prema pana ṭhānā | kṛpānidhāna rāma saba jānā ||
siyahi biloki takeu dhanu kaise | citava garur̤a laghu byālahi jaise ||
लखन लखेउ रघुबंस-मनि, ताकेउ हर-कोदंड ।
पुलकि गात बोले बचन, चरन चापि ब्रह्मांडु ॥
lakhana lakheu raghubaṃsa-mani, tākeu hara-kodaṃḍa |
pulaki gāta bole bacana, carana cāpi brahmāṃḍu ||
