All the rivers on the mountain flow with pure water, and birds, deer and bees live happily. With Girija in his house, Himavan shines the way a man shines who has gained devotion to Shri Rama; new festivity fills his home every day,. Narada hears the news and comes to the mountain's house as if in play. The king of mountains receives him with great honour, washes his feet and gives him a fine seat. With his wife he bows his head at the sage's feet and sprinkles the water from them through the house. He praises his good fortune, calls his daughter, places her at Narada's feet, and asks the all-knowing sage to tell her merits and faults.
सरिता सब पुनीत जल बहहीँ । खग मृग मधुप सुखी सब रहहीँ ॥
सहज-बयर सब जीवन्ह त्यागा । गिरि पर सकल करहिँ अनुरागा ॥
saritā saba punīta jala bahahīm̐ | khaga mṛga madhupa sukhī saba rahahīm̐ ||
sahaja-bayara saba jīvanha tyāgā | giri para sakala karahim̐ anurāgā ||
सोह सैल गिरिजा गृह आये । जिमि जन रामभगति के पाये ॥
नित नूतन मङ्गल गृह तासू । ब्रह्मादिक गावहिँ जस जासू ॥
soha saila girijā gṛha āye | jimi jana rāmabhagati ke pāye ||
nita nūtana maṅgala gṛha tāsū | brahmādika gāvahim̐ jasa jāsū ||
नारद समाचार सब पाये । कौतुकहीं गिरि-गेह सिधाये ॥
सैलराज बड़ आदर कीन्हा । पद पखारि बर आसन दीन्हा ॥
nārada samācāra saba pāye | kautukahīṃ giri-geha sidhāye ||
sailarāja bar̤a ādara kīnhā | pada pakhāri bara āsana dīnhā ||
नारि सहित मुनि-पद सिर नावा । चरन-सलिल सब भवन सिंचावा ॥
निज सौभाग्य बहुत विधि बरना । सुता बोलि मेली मुनि चरना ॥
nāri sahita muni-pada sira nāvā | carana-salila saba bhavana siṃcāvā ||
nija saubhāgya bahuta vidhi baranā | sutā boli melī muni caranā ||
त्रिकालग्य सर्वग्य तुम्ह, गति सर्वत्र तुम्हारि ।
कहहु सुता के दोष गुन, मुनिबर हृदयँ बिचारि ॥
trikālagya sarvagya tumha, gati sarvatra tumhāri |
kahahu sutā ke doṣa guna, munibara hṛdayam̐ bicāri ||
