जनक-सुकृत-मूरति वैदेही । दसरथ सुकृत राम धरें देही ॥
इन्ह सम काहु न सिव अवराधे । काहु न इन्ह समान फल लाधे ॥
janaka-sukṛta-mūrati vaidehī | dasaratha sukṛta rāma dhareṃ dehī ||
inha sama kāhu na siva avarādhe | kāhu na inha samāna phala lādhe ||

What happens in this chapter
Janakpur's women count their good fortune
The townsfolk say: Vaidehi is Janaka's merit in visible form, and Rama is Dasharatha's merit wearing a body. No one has worshipped Shiva as these two have, and no one has won such fruit. And we too must be heaps of merit, born into the world as dwellers of Janakpur, for we have seen the beauty of Janaki and Rama; who is as fortunate as we? The cuckoo-voiced women tell each other: this marriage is a great gain, friend. Out of love Janaka will often call Sita home, and the two brothers, lovelier than a crore of Kamadevas, will come to fetch her.
इन्ह सम कोउ न भयउ जग माहीं । है नहिँ कतहूँ होनेउ नाहीं ॥
हम सब सकल सुकृत के रासी । भए जग जनमि जनकपुर-बासी ॥
inha sama kou na bhayau jaga māhīṃ | hai nahim̐ katahūm̐ honeu nāhīṃ ||
hama saba sakala sukṛta ke rāsī | bhae jaga janami janakapura-bāsī ||
जिन्ह जानकी-राम-छबि देखी । को सुकृती हम सरिस बिसेखी ॥
पुनि देखब रघुबीर-बिआहू । लेब भली बिधि लोचन लाहू ॥
jinha jānakī-rāma-chabi dekhī | ko sukṛtī hama sarisa bisekhī ||
puni dekhaba raghubīra-biāhū | leba bhalī bidhi locana lāhū ||
कहहिं परसपर कोकिल-बयनी । एहि बिबाह बड़ लाभु सुनयनीं ॥
बड़ें भाग बिधि बात बनाई । नयन अतिथि होइहहिँ दोउ आई ॥
kahahiṃ parasapara kokila-bayanī | ehi bibāha bar̤a lābhu sunayanīṃ ||
bar̤eṃ bhāga bidhi bāta banāī | nayana atithi hoihahim̐ dou āī ||
बारहिँ बार सनेह-बस, जनक बोलाउब सीय ।
लेन आइहहिं बन्धु दोउ, कोटि काम कमनीय ॥
bārahim̐ bāra saneha-basa, janaka bolāuba sīya |
lena āihahiṃ bandhu dou, koṭi kāma kamanīya ||
