नयन नीर हठि मङ्गल जानी । परिछनि करहिं मुदित मन रानी ॥
बेद बिदित अरु कुल आचारू । कीन्ह भली बिधि सब व्यवहारू ॥
nayana nīra haṭhi maṅgala jānī | parichani karahiṃ mudita mana rānī ||
beda bidita aru kula ācārū | kīnha bhalī bidhi saba vyavahārū ||

What happens in this chapter
Parachhan and Rama's arrival at the pavilion
Holding back her tears because the hour is auspicious, the queen performs the parachhan with a glad heart, following both the Veda and family custom. The five instruments sound, cloths are spread for Rama to walk on, and after arati and arghya he goes into the wedding pavilion. Dasharatha sits there with his company in such splendour that the guardians of the worlds feel small. Devas rain flowers, Brahmanas chant the shanti verses, and the din is so great that no one hears his own voice. Rama is given water and a seat. Women wave lamps and scatter jewels and cloth in offering, while Brahma and other devas, disguised as Brahmanas, watch and count their lives fulfilled. Barbers, bards and dancers receive the gifts and bless him.
पञ्च-सबद धुनि-मङ्गल-गाना । पट पाँवड़े परहिँ बिधि नाना ॥
करि आरती अरघ तिन्ह दीन्हा । राम गवन मंडप तब कीन्हा ॥
pañca-sabada dhuni-maṅgala-gānā | paṭa pām̐var̤e parahim̐ bidhi nānā ||
kari āratī aragha tinha dīnhā | rāma gavana maṃḍapa taba kīnhā ||
दसरथ सहित समाज बिराजे । विभव बिलोकि लोकपति लाजे ॥
समयँ समयँ सुर बरषहिँ फूला । सान्ति पढ़हिँ महिसुर अनुकूला ॥
dasaratha sahita samāja birāje | vibhava biloki lokapati lāje ||
samayam̐ samayam̐ sura baraṣahim̐ phūlā | sānti par̤hahim̐ mahisura anukūlā ||
नभ अरु नगर कोलाहल होई । आपनि पर कछु सुनइ न कोई ॥
एहि बिधि राम मंडपहिं आये । अरघ देइ आसन बैठाये ॥
nabha aru nagara kolāhala hoī | āpani para kachu sunai na koī ||
ehi bidhi rāma maṃḍapahiṃ āye | aragha dei āsana baiṭhāye ||
बैठारि आसन आरती करि, निरखि बर सुख पावहीं ।
मनि बसन भूषन भूरि वारहिं नारि मङ्गल गावहीँ ॥
ब्रह्मादि सुरबर विप्र बेष बनाइ कौतुक देखहीं ।
अवलोकि रघुकुल-कमल-रबि-छवि, सुफल जीवन लेखहीं ॥
baiṭhāri āsana āratī kari, nirakhi bara sukha pāvahīṃ |
mani basana bhūṣana bhūri vārahiṃ nāri maṅgala gāvahīm̐ ||
brahmādi surabara vipra beṣa banāi kautuka dekhahīṃ |
avaloki raghukula-kamala-rabi-chavi, suphala jīvana lekhahīṃ ||
नाऊ बारी भाट नट, राम निछावरि पाइ ।
मुदित असीसहिँ नाइ सिर, हरष न हृदयँ समाइ ॥
nāū bārī bhāṭa naṭa, rāma nichāvari pāi |
mudita asīsahim̐ nāi sira, haraṣa na hṛdayam̐ samāi ||
