राम कृपा आपनि जड़ताई । कहउँ खगेस सुनहु मन लाई ॥
जय जय राम मनुज तनु धरहीँ । भगत हेतु लीला बहु करहीं ॥
rāma kṛpā āpani jar̤atāī | kahaum̐ khagesa sunahu mana lāī ||
jaya jaya rāma manuja tanu dharahīm̐ | bhagata hetu līlā bahu karahīṃ ||

What happens in this chapter
Bhushundi in Ayodhya with child Rama
Bhushundi now tells Garuda of Rama's grace and his own dullness. Each time Rama takes a human body and does his many leelas for his devotees, Bhushundi goes to Avadhpuri to watch the childhood deeds and rejoice. He goes to see the birth festival and, enchanted, stays there five years. His chosen deity is the child Rama, whose body has the beauty of a hundred crore Kamadevas. In the form of a small crow he stays close to Hari and watches his many-coloured play. Wherever the boy wanders, the crow flies along, and whatever leftover food falls in the courtyard he picks up and eats. Once Raghubira did something extraordinary, and remembering that leela now, Bhushundi's body thrills.
सब तब अवधपुरी मैं जाऊँ । बालचरित बिलोकि हरषाऊँ ॥
जनम-महोत्सव देखउँ जाई । बरष पाँच तहँ रहउँ लोभाई ॥
saba taba avadhapurī maiṃ jāūm̐ | bālacarita biloki haraṣāūm̐ ||
janama-mahotsava dekhaum̐ jāī | baraṣa pām̐ca taham̐ rahaum̐ lobhāī ||
इष्टदेव मम बालक रामा । सोभा बपुष कोटि सत कामा ॥
निज प्रभु बदन निहारि निहारी । लोचन सफल करउँ उरगारी ॥
iṣṭadeva mama bālaka rāmā | sobhā bapuṣa koṭi sata kāmā ||
nija prabhu badana nihāri nihārī | locana saphala karaum̐ uragārī ||
लघु बायस बपु धरि हरि सङ्गा । देखउँ बालचरित बहुरंगा ॥
laghu bāyasa bapu dhari hari saṅgā | dekhaum̐ bālacarita bahuraṃgā ||
लरिकाईं जहँ जहँ फिरहिँ, तहँ तहँ सङ्ग उड़ाउँ ।
जूठनि परइ अजिर महँ, सो उठाइ करि खाउँ ॥
larikāīṃ jaham̐ jaham̐ phirahim̐, taham̐ taham̐ saṅga ur̤āum̐ |
jūṭhani parai ajira maham̐, so uṭhāi kari khāum̐ ||
एक बार अतिसय सब, चरित किये रघुबीर ।
सुमिरत प्रभु लीला सोइ, पुलकित भयउ सरीर ॥
eka bāra atisaya saba, carita kiye raghubīra |
sumirata prabhu līlā soi, pulakita bhayau sarīra ||
