On an auspicious day the wedding threads are untied amid great merriment. The devas pray for birth in Ayodhya. Vishvamitra wishes daily to leave but stays, held by Rama's loving pleas. When at last he asks leave, Dasharatha stands before him with his sons and says: lord, all this wealth is yours; I am your servant with my sons and wives. Keep your kindness on the boys, and keep giving me your darshan. Then he falls at the sage's feet with his sons and queens, unable to speak. The sage blesses them and goes. Rama and his brothers escort him and turn back at his word, and the moon of Gadhi's line goes off rejoicing, praising them inwardly.
सुदिन सोधि कल कङ्कन छौरे । मङ्गल मोद बिनोद न थोरे ॥
नित नव सुख सुर देखि सिहाहीं । अवध जनम जाचहिँ बिधि पाहीं ॥
sudina sodhi kala kaṅkana chaure | maṅgala moda binoda na thore ||
nita nava sukha sura dekhi sihāhīṃ | avadha janama jācahim̐ bidhi pāhīṃ ||
बिस्वामित्र चलन नित चहहीँ । राम-सप्रेम-विनय-बस रहहीँ ॥
दिन दिन सयगुन भूपति भाऊ । देखि सराह महा-मुनि-राज ॥
bisvāmitra calana nita cahahīm̐ | rāma-saprema-vinaya-basa rahahīm̐ ||
dina dina sayaguna bhūpati bhāū | dekhi sarāha mahā-muni-rāja ||
माँगत बिदा राउ अनुरागे । सुतन्ह समेत ठाढ़ भे आगे ॥
नाथ सकल सम्पदा तुम्हारी । मैं सेवक समेत सुत नारी ॥
mām̐gata bidā rāu anurāge | sutanha sameta ṭhār̤ha bhe āge ||
nātha sakala sampadā tumhārī | maiṃ sevaka sameta suta nārī ||
करब सदा लरिकनः पर छोहू । दरसन देत रहब मुनि मोहू ॥
अस कहि राउ सहित सुत रानी । परेउ चरन मुख आव न बानी ॥
karaba sadā larikanaḥ para chohū | darasana deta rahaba muni mohū ||
asa kahi rāu sahita suta rānī | pareu carana mukha āva na bānī ||
दीन्हि असीस बिप्र बहु भाँती । चले न प्रीति रीति-कहि जाती ॥
राम सप्रेम सङ्ग सब भाई । आयसु पाई फिरे पहुँचाई ॥
dīnhi asīsa bipra bahu bhām̐tī | cale na prīti rīti-kahi jātī ||
rāma saprema saṅga saba bhāī | āyasu pāī phire pahum̐cāī ||
राम रूपु भूपति भगति, ब्याहु उछाहु अनंदु ।
जात सराहत मनहिं मन, मुदित गाधि-कुल-चन्द ॥
rāma rūpu bhūpati bhagati, byāhu uchāhu anaṃdu |
jāta sarāhata manahiṃ mana, mudita gādhi-kula-canda ||
