श्रीमुख बचन सुनत सब भाई । हरषे प्रेम न हृदयँ समाई ॥
करहिँ बिनय अति बार धारा । हनूमान हियँ हरष अपारा ॥
śrīmukha bacana sunata saba bhāī | haraṣe prema na hṛdayam̐ samāī ||
karahim̐ binaya ati bāra dhārā | hanūmāna hiyam̐ haraṣa apārā ||

What happens in this chapter
Narada carries the deeds to Brahma
Hearing the Lord's own words, the brothers are so full of love that their hearts cannot hold it, and Hanuman's joy is boundless. Raghupati returns to his palace, playing new leelas every day. Narada comes again and again and sings Rama's holy deeds, then goes to Brahma's world to tell them; Brahma delights and asks him to sing them again. Sanaka and his brothers commend Narada; though absorbed in Brahman, they forget their samadhi on hearing those praises and listen with reverence. Even those freed while living leave meditation to hear these deeds. Those who find no delight in Hari's katha have hearts of stone.
पुनि रघुपति निज मन्दिर गये । एहि बिधि चरित करत नित नये ॥
बार बार नारद मुनि आवहिँ । चरित पुनीत राम के गावहिं ॥
puni raghupati nija mandira gaye | ehi bidhi carita karata nita naye ||
bāra bāra nārada muni āvahim̐ | carita punīta rāma ke gāvahiṃ ||
नित नव चरित देखि मुनि जाहीँ । ब्रह्मलोक सब कथा कहाहीं ॥
सुनि बिरञ्चि अतिसय सुख मानहिँ । पुनि पुनि तात करहु गुन गानहिं ॥
nita nava carita dekhi muni jāhīm̐ | brahmaloka saba kathā kahāhīṃ ||
suni birañci atisaya sukha mānahim̐ | puni puni tāta karahu guna gānahiṃ ||
सनकादिक नारदहि सराहहिँ । जद्यपि ब्रह्म-निरत मुनि आहहिँ ॥
सुनि गुन गान समाधि बिसारी । सादर सुनहिँ परम अधिकारी ॥
sanakādika nāradahi sarāhahim̐ | jadyapi brahma-nirata muni āhahim̐ ||
suni guna gāna samādhi bisārī | sādara sunahim̐ parama adhikārī ||
जीवनमुक्त ब्रह्मपर, चरित सुनहिँ तजि ध्यान ।
जे हरि कथाँ न करहिं रति, तिन्ह के हिय पाषान ॥
jīvanamukta brahmapara, carita sunahim̐ taji dhyāna |
je hari kathām̐ na karahiṃ rati, tinha ke hiya pāṣāna ||
