अति गहगहे बाजने बाजे । सहि मनोहर मङ्गल साजे ॥
जूथ जूथ मिलि सुमुखि सुनयनीं । करहिं गान कल कोकिल-बयनी ॥
ati gahagahe bājane bāje | sahi manohara maṅgala sāje ||
jūtha jūtha mili sumukhi sunayanīṃ | karahiṃ gāna kala kokila-bayanī ||

What happens in this chapter
Janaka's joy and Vishvamitra's counsel
Drums boom loudly and auspicious things are made ready. Groups of fair women with cuckoo voices sing. Videha's happiness is beyond words, like a man poor from birth who finds a treasure. Sita's fear is gone and she is glad, like a chakori maiden at moonrise. Janaka bows to Vishvamitra: by your grace Shri Rama has broken the bow, and the two brothers have fulfilled my life; tell me what is proper now. The muni answers that the marriage depended on the bow, and the moment it broke the marriage was made, as Devas, men and Nagas all know. Still, go and perform it by the custom of your line, asking the Brahmins, elders and gurus who know the rites.
सुख बिदेह कर बरनि न जाई । जनम दरिद्र मनहुँ निधि पाई ॥
बिगत नास भइ सीय सुखारी । जनु बिधु उदयँ चकोर-कुमारी ॥
sukha bideha kara barani na jāī | janama daridra manahum̐ nidhi pāī ||
bigata nāsa bhai sīya sukhārī | janu bidhu udayam̐ cakora-kumārī ||
जनक कीन्ह कौसिकहि प्रनामा । प्रभु प्रसाद धनु भञ्जेउ रामा ॥
मोहि कृतकृत्य कीन्ह दुहुँ भाईं । अब जो उचित सो कहिय गोसाँई ॥
janaka kīnha kausikahi pranāmā | prabhu prasāda dhanu bhañjeu rāmā ||
mohi kṛtakṛtya kīnha duhum̐ bhāīṃ | aba jo ucita so kahiya gosām̐ī ||
कह मुनि सुनु नरनाथ प्रबीना । रहा विवाह चाप आधीना ॥
टूटतहीं धनु भयउ बिबाहू । सुर नर नाग विदित सब काहु ॥
kaha muni sunu naranātha prabīnā | rahā vivāha cāpa ādhīnā ||
ṭūṭatahīṃ dhanu bhayau bibāhū | sura nara nāga vidita saba kāhu ||
तदपि जाइ तुम्ह करहु अब, जथा बंस व्यवहार ।
बूझि विप्र कुलबृद्ध गुरु, बेद विदित आचार ॥
tadapi jāi tumha karahu aba, jathā baṃsa vyavahāra |
būjhi vipra kulabṛddha guru, beda vidita ācāra ||
