तेहि अवसर दसरथ तहँ आये । तनय बिलोकि नयन जल छाये ॥
अनुज सहित प्रभु बन्दन कीन्हा । आसिरबाद पिताँ तब दीन्हा ॥
tehi avasara dasaratha taham̐ āye | tanaya biloki nayana jala chāye ||
anuja sahita prabhu bandana kīnhā | āsirabāda pitām̐ taba dīnhā ||

Chapter 112: King Dasharatha comes to see his son

What happens in this chapter
King Dasharatha comes to see his son
At that moment Dasharatha comes, and his eyes fill as he sees his son. Rama says: father, it is all by the power of your merit that I have conquered the unconquerable king of the rakshasas. Hearing his son, Dasharatha's love grows. Rama, sensing that love, looks at his father and grants him firm knowledge. Shiva tells Uma that Dasharatha did not take liberation, for his heart held a devotion that keeps the Lord as Lord and the devotee as devotee. Those who worship the Lord with form do not take moksha; to them Rama gives his own bhakti. Bowing again and again, Dasharatha returns joyfully to the abode of the devas. Then Indra begins to praise the Lord.
तात सकल तव पुन्य प्रभाऊ । जीत्यों अजय निसाचर-राऊ ॥
सुनि सुत बचन प्रीति अति बाढ़ी । नयन सलिल रोमावलि ठाढ़ी ॥
tāta sakala tava punya prabhāū | jītyoṃ ajaya nisācara-rāū ||
suni suta bacana prīti ati bār̤hī | nayana salila romāvali ṭhār̤hī ||
रघुपति प्रथम प्रेम अनुमाना । चितइ पितहि दीन्हेउ दृढ़ ज्ञाना ॥
ताते उमा मोच्छ नहिं पायो । दसरथ भेद-भगति मन लायो ॥
raghupati prathama prema anumānā | citai pitahi dīnheu dṛr̤ha jñānā ||
tāte umā moccha nahiṃ pāyo | dasaratha bheda-bhagati mana lāyo ||
सगुनोपासक मोच्छ न लेहीं । तिन्ह कह राम भगति निज देहीं ॥
बार बार कर प्रभुहि प्रनामा । दसरथ हरषि गये सुरधामा ॥
sagunopāsaka moccha na lehīṃ | tinha kaha rāma bhagati nija dehīṃ ||
bāra bāra kara prabhuhi pranāmā | dasaratha haraṣi gaye suradhāmā ||
अनुज-जानकी-सहित प्रभु, कुसल कोसलाधीस ।
सोभा देखि हरषि मन, अस्तुति कर सुर-ईस ॥
anuja-jānakī-sahita prabhu, kusala kosalādhīsa |
sobhā dekhi haraṣi mana, astuti kara sura-īsa ||
