सबहि भाँति मोहि दीन्हि बड़ाई । निज जन जानि लीन्ह अपनाई ॥
होहिँ सहस-दस सारद सेखा । करहिँ कलप कोटिक भरि लेखा ॥
sabahi bhām̐ti mohi dīnhi bar̤āī | nija jana jāni līnha apanāī ||
hohim̐ sahasa-dasa sārada sekhā | karahim̐ kalapa koṭika bhari lekhā ||

Chapter 342: Janaka asks only for unwavering devotion
5 verses · 342 of 361
What happens in this chapter
Janaka asks only for unwavering devotion
Janaka goes on: you have honoured me in every way and taken me as your own. Even ten thousand Sharadas and Sheshas writing for millions of kalpas could not finish the tale of my good fortune and your virtues, Raghunatha. I say this much relying on one strength of mine, that you are pleased by even a little love. Again and again, with folded hands, I ask this: may my mind never, even by mistake, leave your feet. Hearing words so nourished by love, Rama, who lacks nothing, is content. He honours his father-in-law, regarding him as he does his father, Vishvamitra and Vasishtha. Janaka then speaks humbly to Bharata, embraces him and blesses him, and meets Lakshmana and Shatrughna.
मोर भाग्य राउर गुन-गाथा । कहि न सिराहिँ सुनहु रघुनाथा ॥
मैं कछु कहउँ एक बल मोरें । तुम्ह रीझहु सनेह सुठि थोरें ॥
mora bhāgya rāura guna-gāthā | kahi na sirāhim̐ sunahu raghunāthā ||
maiṃ kachu kahaum̐ eka bala moreṃ | tumha rījhahu saneha suṭhi thoreṃ ||
बार बार माँगउँ कर जोरें । मन परिहरै चरन जनि भोरें ॥
सुनि घर बचन प्रेम जनु पोषे । पूरनकाम राम परितोषे ॥
bāra bāra mām̐gaum̐ kara joreṃ | mana pariharai carana jani bhoreṃ ||
suni ghara bacana prema janu poṣe | pūranakāma rāma paritoṣe ||
करि घर बिनय ससुर सनमाने । पितु कौसिक बसिष्ठ सम जाने ॥
बिनती बहुरि भरत सन कीन्ही । मिलि सप्रेम पुनि आसिष दीन्ही ॥
kari ghara binaya sasura sanamāne | pitu kausika basiṣṭha sama jāne ||
binatī bahuri bharata sana kīnhī | mili saprema puni āsiṣa dīnhī ||
मिले लखन रिपुसूदनहि, दीन्ह असीस महीस ।
भये परसपर प्रेम-बस, फिरि फिरि नावहिँ सीस ॥
mile lakhana ripusūdanahi, dīnha asīsa mahīsa |
bhaye parasapara prema-basa, phiri phiri nāvahim̐ sīsa ||
