प्रभु के बचन सीस धरि सीता । बोली मन क्रम बचन पुनीता ॥
लछिमन होहु धरम के नेगी । पावक प्रगट करहु तुम्ह बेगी ॥
prabhu ke bacana sīsa dhari sītā | bolī mana krama bacana punītā ||
lachimana hohu dharama ke negī | pāvaka pragaṭa karahu tumha begī ||

What happens in this chapter
Sita enters the fire and returns
Accepting the Lord's words, Sita says: Lakshmana, be the officiant of dharma and light a fire at once. Lakshmana, eyes wet and speechless, reads Rama's look and lights it. Vaidehi feels joy, not fear: if there has been no refuge in my heart but Raghubira, let this fire be cool as sandal to me. Remembering the Lord, she enters the flames. The shadow form and worldly blame burn away. Agni himself takes the true Sita by the hand and gives her to Rama, as the Ocean gave Lakshmi to Vishnu. She shines at Rama's left side like a golden lotus bud beside a blue lotus, and the devas rain flowers. Seeing the Lord with Janaka's daughter, the bears and monkeys rejoice and hail Raghupati.
सुनि लछिमन सीता के बानी । बिरह-बिबेक धरम-निति सानी ॥
लोचन सजल जोरि कर दोऊ । प्रभु सन कछु कहि सकत न ओऊ ॥
suni lachimana sītā ke bānī | biraha-bibeka dharama-niti sānī ||
locana sajala jori kara doū | prabhu sana kachu kahi sakata na oū ||
देखि राम रुख लछिमन धाये । पावक प्रगटि काठ बहु लाये ॥
पावक प्रबल देखि बैदेही । हृदयँ हरष नहिँ भय कछु तेही ॥
dekhi rāma rukha lachimana dhāye | pāvaka pragaṭi kāṭha bahu lāye ||
pāvaka prabala dekhi baidehī | hṛdayam̐ haraṣa nahim̐ bhaya kachu tehī ||
जो मन बच क्रम मम उर माहीं । तजि रघुबीर आन गति नाहीं ॥
तौ कृसानु सब कै गति जाना । मे कहँ होहु श्रीखंड समाना ॥
jo mana baca krama mama ura māhīṃ | taji raghubīra āna gati nāhīṃ ||
tau kṛsānu saba kai gati jānā | me kaham̐ hohu śrīkhaṃḍa samānā ||
श्रीखंड-सम पावक प्रबेस कियो सुमिरि प्रभु मैथिली ।
जय कोसलेस महेस बन्दित, चरन रति अति-निर्मली ॥
प्रतिबिम्ब अरु लौकिक कलङ्क प्रचंड पावक महँ जरे ।
प्रभु चरित काहुँ न लखे नभ सुर नभ, सिद्ध मुनि देखहिं खरे ॥
śrīkhaṃḍa-sama pāvaka prabesa kiyo sumiri prabhu maithilī |
jaya kosalesa mahesa bandita, carana rati ati-nirmalī ||
pratibimba aru laukika kalaṅka pracaṃḍa pāvaka maham̐ jare |
prabhu carita kāhum̐ na lakhe nabha sura nabha, siddha muni dekhahiṃ khare ||
धरि रूप पावक पानि गहि श्री सत्य स्रुति जग विदित जो ।
जिमि छीरसागर इन्दिरा रामहिँ समर्पी आनि से ॥
सो राम बाम-बिभाग राजति, रुचिर अति सोभा भली ।
नव-नील नीरज निकट मानहुँ, कनक-पङ्कज की कली ॥
dhari rūpa pāvaka pāni gahi śrī satya sruti jaga vidita jo |
jimi chīrasāgara indirā rāmahim̐ samarpī āni se ||
so rāma bāma-bibhāga rājati, rucira ati sobhā bhalī |
nava-nīla nīraja nikaṭa mānahum̐, kanaka-paṅkaja kī kalī ||
बरषहिँ सुमन हरषि सुर, बाजहिं गगन निसान ।
गावहिँ किंनर सुरबधू, नाचहिँ चढ़ीं बिमान ॥
baraṣahim̐ sumana haraṣi sura, bājahiṃ gagana nisāna |
gāvahim̐ kiṃnara surabadhū, nācahim̐ car̤hīṃ bimāna ||
जनक-सुता समेत प्रभु, सोभा अमित अपार ।
देखि भालु कपि हरषे जय रघुपति सुख सार ॥
janaka-sutā sameta prabhu, sobhā amita apāra |
dekhi bhālu kapi haraṣe jaya raghupati sukha sāra ||
