नित नूतन मङ्गल पुर माहीं । निमिष सरिस दिन जामिनि जाहीँ ॥
बड़े भोर भूपतिमनि जागे । जाचक गुन गन गावन लागे ॥
nita nūtana maṅgala pura māhīṃ | nimiṣa sarisa dina jāmini jāhīm̐ ||
bar̤e bhora bhūpatimani jāge | jācaka guna gana gāvana lāge ||

What happens in this chapter
Dasharatha asks Vasishtha to give cows
Every day in Janakpur brings fresh festivity, and days and nights pass like a blink. Early one morning Dasharatha wakes as the bards sing his praises. Seeing his sons with their brides, his joy is past telling. After his morning rites he goes to his guru and, bowing and worshipping with folded hands, speaks words as if steeped in amrit: by your grace, king of munis, I am today fulfilled in all I set out to do. Now, master, call all the Brahmanas and give them cows, fully adorned. Vasishtha praises the king and sends for the sages. Vamadeva, the devarishi, Valmiki, Jabali, Vishvamitra and many other great ascetics come.
देखि कुअँर बर बधुन्ह समेता । किमि कहि जात मोदु मन जेता ॥
प्रातक्रिया करि गे गुरु पाहीँ । महा प्रमोद प्रेम मन माहीं ॥
dekhi kuam̐ra bara badhunha sametā | kimi kahi jāta modu mana jetā ||
prātakriyā kari ge guru pāhīm̐ | mahā pramoda prema mana māhīṃ ||
करि प्रनाम पूजा कर जोरी । बोले गिरा अमिय जनु बोरी ॥
तुम्हरी कृपाँ सुनहु मुनिराजा । भयउँ आजु मैं पूरनकाजा ॥
kari pranāma pūjā kara jorī | bole girā amiya janu borī ||
tumharī kṛpām̐ sunahu munirājā | bhayaum̐ āju maiṃ pūranakājā ||
अब सब बिप्र बोलाइ गोसाँई । देहु धेनु सब भाँति बनाई ॥
सुनि गुरु करि महिपाल बड़ाई । पुनि पठये मुनि बृन्द बोलाई ॥
aba saba bipra bolāi gosām̐ī | dehu dhenu saba bhām̐ti banāī ||
suni guru kari mahipāla bar̤āī | puni paṭhaye muni bṛnda bolāī ||
बामदेव अरु देवरिषि, बालमीकि जाबालि ।
आये मुनिबर निकर तब, कौसिकादि तप-सालि ॥
bāmadeva aru devariṣi, bālamīki jābāli |
āye munibara nikara taba, kausikādi tapa-sāli ||
