दंड प्रनाम सबहि नृप कीन्हे । पूजि सप्रेम बरासन दीन्हे ॥
चारि लच्छ बर-धेनु मगाई । कामसुरभि सम सील सुहाई ॥
daṃḍa pranāma sabahi nṛpa kīnhe | pūji saprema barāsana dīnhe ||
cāri laccha bara-dhenu magāī | kāmasurabhi sama sīla suhāī ||

What happens in this chapter
The gift of cows and Dasharatha's thanks
Dasharatha prostrates before all the munis, worships them with love and gives them fine seats. He sends for four lakh excellent cows, gentle as Kamadhenu, has each fully adorned, and gives them to the Brahmanas with joy, saying humbly that today he has gained the reward of living in the world. Receiving their blessings, he calls the seekers and, asking each what he wants, gives gold, cloth, gems, horses, elephants and chariots. They leave singing, victory to the lord of the Sun dynasty. Tulsidas says the festivity of Rama's wedding is beyond even the thousand-mouthed Shesha. Again and again Dasharatha bows at Vishvamitra's feet and says that all this happiness is the power of his gracious glance.
सब बिधि सकल अलंकृत कीन्हीँ । मुदित महिप महिदेवन्ह दीन्हीँ ॥
करत बिनय बहु बिधि नरनाहू । लहेउँ आजु जग जीवन-लाहू ॥
saba bidhi sakala alaṃkṛta kīnhīm̐ | mudita mahipa mahidevanha dīnhīm̐ ||
karata binaya bahu bidhi naranāhū | laheum̐ āju jaga jīvana-lāhū ||
पाइ असीस महीस अनन्दा । लिये बोलि पुनि जाचक-बृन्दा ॥
कनक बसन मनि हय गय स्यन्दन । दिये बूझिरुचि रविकुल-नन्दन ॥
pāi asīsa mahīsa anandā | liye boli puni jācaka-bṛndā ||
kanaka basana mani haya gaya syandana | diye būjhiruci ravikula-nandana ||
चले पढ़त गावत गुन गाथा । जय जय जय दिनकर-कुल-नाथा ॥
एहि विधि राम-बिबाह-उछाहू । सकइ न बरनि सहस-मुख जाहू ॥
cale par̤hata gāvata guna gāthā | jaya jaya jaya dinakara-kula-nāthā ||
ehi vidhi rāma-bibāha-uchāhū | sakai na barani sahasa-mukha jāhū ||
बार बार कौसिक चरन, सीस नाइ कह राउ ।
यह सब सुखं मुनिराज तव, कृपा-कटाच्छ प्रभाउ ॥
bāra bāra kausika carana, sīsa nāi kaha rāu |
yaha saba sukhaṃ munirāja tava, kṛpā-kaṭāccha prabhāu ||
