The brothers serve Rama as he wishes, their love ever growing, watching his face in hope that he will ask something of them. Rama loves them and teaches them niti. The citizens enjoy pleasures rare even for devas, yet pray day and night only for love of Raghubir's feet. Sita bears two beautiful sons, Lava and Kusha, of whom the Vedas and Puranas sing, victorious, humble and full of virtue, like reflections of Hari. Each brother has two sons. He who is beyond speech, mind and maya, unborn, the dense being of sat-chit-ananda, plays this noble human leela.
सेवहिँ सानुकूल सब भाई । राम-चरन रति अति अधिकाई ॥
प्रभु सुख कमल बिलोकत रहहीं । कबहुँ कृपाल हमहिँ कछु कहहीं ॥
sevahim̐ sānukūla saba bhāī | rāma-carana rati ati adhikāī ||
prabhu sukha kamala bilokata rahahīṃ | kabahum̐ kṛpāla hamahim̐ kachu kahahīṃ ||
राम करहिँ भ्रातन्ह पर प्रीती । नाना भाँति सिखावहिँ नीती ॥
हरषित रहहिँ नगर के लोगा । करहिँ सकल सुर-दुर्लभ भोगा ॥
rāma karahim̐ bhrātanha para prītī | nānā bhām̐ti sikhāvahim̐ nītī ||
haraṣita rahahim̐ nagara ke logā | karahim̐ sakala sura-durlabha bhogā ||
अहनिसि बिधिहि मनावत रहहीँ । श्रीरघुबीर-चरन रति चहहीं ॥
दुइ सुत सुन्दर सीतां जाये । लव कुस बेद पुरानन्ह गाये ॥
ahanisi bidhihi manāvata rahahīm̐ | śrīraghubīra-carana rati cahahīṃ ||
dui suta sundara sītāṃ jāye | lava kusa beda purānanha gāye ||
दोउ बिजई बिनई गुन मन्दिर । हरि प्रतिबिम्ब मनहुँ अति सुन्दर ॥
दुइ दुइ सुत सब भ्रातन्ह केरे । भए रूप गुन सील घनेरे ॥
dou bijaī binaī guna mandira | hari pratibimba manahum̐ ati sundara ||
dui dui suta saba bhrātanha kere | bhae rūpa guna sīla ghanere ||
दो ज्ञान गिरा गोतीत अज, माया मन गुन पार ।
सोइ सच्चिदानन्द घन, कर नर चरित उदार ॥
do jñāna girā gotīta aja, māyā mana guna pāra |
soi saccidānanda ghana, kara nara carita udāra ||
