प्रभु जानी कैकेई लजानी । प्रथम तासु गृह गये भवानी ॥
ताहि प्रबोधि बहुत सुख दीन्हा । पुनि निज भवन गवन हरि कीन्हा ॥
prabhu jānī kaikeī lajānī | prathama tāsu gṛha gaye bhavānī ||
tāhi prabodhi bahuta sukha dīnhā | puni nija bhavana gavana hari kīnhā ||

What happens in this chapter
Rama visits Kaikeyi; coronation is set
Shiva tells Bhavani that the Lord knew Kaikeyi was ashamed, so he went to her house first, comforted her at length, and only then went to his own palace. Guru Vasishtha calls the Brahmins: today is an auspicious day, so give your consent, and let Ramachandra sit on the throne. The Brahmins love these words and answer that Rama's coronation will delight the world; do not delay, put the tilak on the Maharaja now. Vasishtha tells Sumantra, who gladly makes ready chariots, horses and elephants. Runners gather the auspicious materials, and Sumantra returns to bow at Vasishtha's feet.
कृपासिन्धु निज मन्दिर गये । पुर नर नारि सुखी सब भये ॥
गुरु बसिष्ठ द्विज लिये बुलाई । आज सुघरी सुदिन समुदाई ॥
kṛpāsindhu nija mandira gaye | pura nara nāri sukhī saba bhaye ||
guru basiṣṭha dvija liye bulāī | āja sugharī sudina samudāī ||
सब द्विज देहु हरषि अनुसासन । रामचन्द्र बैठहिँ सिंहासन ॥
मुनि बसिष्ठ के बचन सुहाये । सुनत सकल बिप्रन्ह अति भाये ॥
saba dvija dehu haraṣi anusāsana | rāmacandra baiṭhahim̐ siṃhāsana ||
muni basiṣṭha ke bacana suhāye | sunata sakala bipranha ati bhāye ||
कहहिं बचन मृदु बिप्र अनेका । जग अभिराम राम अभिषेका ॥
अब मुनिबर बिलम्ब नहिँ कीजै । महाराज कहँ तिलक करीजै ॥
kahahiṃ bacana mṛdu bipra anekā | jaga abhirāma rāma abhiṣekā ||
aba munibara bilamba nahim̐ kījai | mahārāja kaham̐ tilaka karījai ||
तब मुनि कहेउ सुमन्त्र सन, सुनत चलेउ हरषाइ ।
रथ अनेक बहु बाजि गज, तुरत सँवारे जाइ ॥
taba muni kaheu sumantra sana, sunata caleu haraṣāi |
ratha aneka bahu bāji gaja, turata sam̐vāre jāi ||
जहँ तहँ धावन पठइ पुनि, मङ्गल द्रव्य मगाइ ।
हरष समेत बसिष्ठ-पद, पुनि सिर नायउ आइ ॥
jaham̐ taham̐ dhāvana paṭhai puni, maṅgala dravya magāi |
haraṣa sameta basiṣṭha-pada, puni sira nāyau āi ||
