रामभगति सुरसरितहि जाई । मिली सुकीरति सरजु सुहाई ॥
सानुज राम समर जस पावन । मिलेउ महानद सोन सुहावन ॥
rāmabhagati surasaritahi jāī | milī sukīrati saraju suhāī ||
sānuja rāma samara jasa pāvana | mileu mahānada sona suhāvana ||

Confluence of devotion and the katha's episodes
The Sarayu of good fame joined the Ganga of Rama-bhakti, and the holy fame of Rama and his brother in battle joined them as the great river Son. Between them flows devotion with knowledge and dispassion. This triple confluence, which scares away the three torments, runs toward the ocean of Rama's own form, and will purify the hearts of listeners. The varied episodes are groves on its banks. The guests at Uma and Mahesh's wedding are its countless water creatures. The joy of Raghubar's birth is its whirlpools and waves. The doha: the four brothers' childhood deeds are its lotuses, and the merit of the king, queens and household its bees and birds.
जुग बिच भगति देव धुनि धारा । सोहति सहित सुबिरति बिचारा ॥
त्रिविधि ताप त्रासक तिमुहानी । राम सरूप सिन्धु समुहानी ॥
juga bica bhagati deva dhuni dhārā | sohati sahita subirati bicārā ||
trividhi tāpa trāsaka timuhānī | rāma sarūpa sindhu samuhānī ||
मानस-मूल मिली सुरसरिही । सुनत सुजन-मन पावन करिही ॥
बिच बिच कथा विचित्र बिभागा । जनु सरि तीर तीर बन बागा ॥
mānasa-mūla milī surasarihī | sunata sujana-mana pāvana karihī ||
bica bica kathā vicitra bibhāgā | janu sari tīra tīra bana bāgā ||
उमा-महेस-बिबाह बराती । ते जलचर अगनित बहु भाँती ॥
रघुबर-जनम अनन्द-बधाई । भँवर तरङ्ग मनोहरताई ॥
umā-mahesa-bibāha barātī | te jalacara aganita bahu bhām̐tī ||
raghubara-janama ananda-badhāī | bham̐vara taraṅga manoharatāī ||
बालचरित चहुँ बन्धु के, बनज बिपुल बहु रङ्ग ।
नृप-रानी-परिजन सुकृत, मधुकर बारि बिहङ्ग ॥
bālacarita cahum̐ bandhu ke, banaja bipula bahu raṅga |
nṛpa-rānī-parijana sukṛta, madhukara bāri bihaṅga ||
