Each member of the procession finds his lodging furnished with every joy of the Devas. No one knows the secret of this wealth, and all praise Janaka. Shri Rama alone recognises it as Sita's glory and rejoices inwardly, knowing the cause. Hearing that their father has come, the two brothers cannot contain their joy, yet out of reticence they cannot tell their guru, though they long to see him. Vishvamitra is pleased by their humility. He gladly embraces both brothers and goes with them to Dasharatha's lodging, as though a lake had gone to meet the thirsty. When the king sees the muni coming with his sons, he rises in joy and moves forward as though wading through an ocean of happiness.
निज निज बास बिलोकि बराती । सुर-सुख-सकल सुलभ सब भाँती ॥
बिभव-भेद कछु कोउ न जाना । सकल जनक कर करहिं बखाना ॥
nija nija bāsa biloki barātī | sura-sukha-sakala sulabha saba bhām̐tī ||
bibhava-bheda kachu kou na jānā | sakala janaka kara karahiṃ bakhānā ||
सिय महिमा रघुनायक जानी । हरषे हृदयँ हेतु पहिचानी ॥
पितु आगमन सुनत दोउ भाई । हृदयँ न अति आनन्द अमाई ॥
siya mahimā raghunāyaka jānī | haraṣe hṛdayam̐ hetu pahicānī ||
pitu āgamana sunata dou bhāī | hṛdayam̐ na ati ānanda amāī ||
सकुचन्ह कहि न सकत गुरु पाहीँ । पितु-दरसन लालच मन माहीँ ॥
बिस्वामित्र बिनय बड़ि देखी । उपजा उर सन्तोष बिसेखी ॥
sakucanha kahi na sakata guru pāhīm̐ | pitu-darasana lālaca mana māhīm̐ ||
bisvāmitra binaya bar̤i dekhī | upajā ura santoṣa bisekhī ||
हरषि बन्धु दोउ हृदयँ लगाये । पुलक-अङ्ग अम्बक जल छाये ॥
चले जहाँ दसरथ जनवासे । मनहुँ सरोवर तकेउ पिआसे ॥
haraṣi bandhu dou hṛdayam̐ lagāye | pulaka-aṅga ambaka jala chāye ||
cale jahām̐ dasaratha janavāse | manahum̐ sarovara takeu piāse ||
भूप बिलोके जबहिँ मुनि, आवत सुतन्ह समेत ।
उठे हरषि सुख-सिन्धु महँ, चले थाह सी लेत ॥
bhūpa biloke jabahim̐ muni, āvata sutanha sameta |
uṭhe haraṣi sukha-sindhu maham̐, cale thāha sī leta ||
