सुनि बोले गुरु अति सुख पाई । पुन्य-पुरुष कहँ महि सुख छाई ॥
जिमि सरिता सागर मह जाहीँ । जद्यपि ताहि कामना नाहीं ॥
suni bole guru ati sukha pāī | punya-puruṣa kaham̐ mahi sukha chāī ||
jimi saritā sāgara maha jāhīm̐ | jadyapi tāhi kāmanā nāhīṃ ||

Chapter 294: Vasishtha blesses the king, orders the procession
5 verses · 294 of 361
What happens in this chapter
Vasishtha blesses the king, orders the procession
Vasishtha is delighted and says that happiness fills the earth for the virtuous. As rivers run to the ocean though it does not desire them, so joy and wealth come unasked to one who keeps dharma. You serve guru, Brahmins, cows and Devas, and Queen Kausalya is as pure. No one in the world has been, or will be, as meritorious as you. What merit can exceed that of a king with a son like Rama? Your four sons are heroic, humble, devoted to dharma, oceans of virtue; good fortune is yours at every time. Prepare the marriage procession, sound the drums and set out quickly. The king bows, saying it shall be so, has the envoys lodged, and returns to the palace.
तिमि सुख सम्पति बिनहिँ बोलाये । धरमसील पहिँ जाहिँ सुभाये ॥
तुम्ह गुरु-विप्र-धेनु-सुर सेबी । तसि पुनीत कौसल्या देबी ॥
timi sukha sampati binahim̐ bolāye | dharamasīla pahim̐ jāhim̐ subhāye ||
tumha guru-vipra-dhenu-sura sebī | tasi punīta kausalyā debī ||
सुकृती तुम्ह समान जग माहीं । भयउ न है कोउ होनेउँ नाहीं ॥
तुम्ह से अधिक पुन्य बड़ का के । राजन राम सरिस सुत जा के ॥
sukṛtī tumha samāna jaga māhīṃ | bhayau na hai kou honeum̐ nāhīṃ ||
tumha se adhika punya bar̤a kā ke | rājana rāma sarisa suta jā ke ||
बीर बिनीत धरम-व्रत धारी । गुन-सागर बर बालक चारी ॥
तुम्ह कह सर्व काल कल्याना । सजहु बरात बजाइ निसाना ॥
bīra binīta dharama-vrata dhārī | guna-sāgara bara bālaka cārī ||
tumha kaha sarva kāla kalyānā | sajahu barāta bajāi nisānā ||
चलहु बेगि सुनि गुरु बचन, भलेहिं नाथ सिर नाइ ।
भूपति गवने भवन तब, दूतन्ह बास देवाइ ॥
calahu begi suni guru bacana, bhalehiṃ nātha sira nāi |
bhūpati gavane bhavana taba, dūtanha bāsa devāi ||
