मुनि आगमन सुना जब राजा। मिलन गयऊ लै बिप्र समाजा।। करि दंडवत मुनिहि सनमानी। निज आसन बैठारेन्हि आनी।। चरन पखारि कीन्हि अति पूजा। मो सम आजु धन्य नहिं दूजा।। बिबिध भाँति भोजन करवावा। मुनिवर हृदयँ हरष अति पावा।। पुनि चरननि मेले सुत चारी। राम देखि मुनि देह बिसारी।। भए मगन देखत मुख सोभा। जनु चकोर पूरन ससि लोभा।। तब मन हरषि बचन कह राऊ। मुनि अस कृपा न कीन्हिहु काऊ।। केहि कारन आगमन तुम्हारा। कहहु सो करत न लावउँ बारा।। असुर समूह सतावहिं मोही। मै जाचन आयउँ नृप तोही।। अनुज समेत देहु रघुनाथा। निसिचर बध मैं होब सनाथा।।

When the king heard of the sage's visit he went out to meet him with a party of Brahmanas. Prostrating himself on the ground the king reverently brought him in and seated him on his own throne. Then, washing the sage's feet, he paid him great honours and said, "No one else is so blessed as I am today." The king next entertained him with various kinds of food and the great sage was much delighted at heart. He then placed his four sons on the latter's feet. At the sight of Sri Rama the sage forgot all about himself. He was enraptured as he gazed on the beauty of Sri Rama's countenance even as the Cakora bird is enamoured of the full moon. Gladdened at heart, the king then addressed the following words to him, "Reverend sir, you have never shown such grace to me before. Tell me what brings you here; I will carry out your order without delay." "Hosts of demons molest me, O king; I have therefore come to ask something of you. Let me have the Lord of Raghus, Sri Rama, with His younger brother (Laksmana); with the extermination of the demons I will feel secure."

Hearing this most unwelcome demand the king's heart quivered and the brightness of his countenance faded. He said, "I have been blessed with these four sons in my old age. You have, therefore, made your demand without due consideration, holy sir. Ask of me land, cattle, goods and treasure; I will gladly give all I have without delay. Nothing is dearer than one's body and life; even these I would part within a second. All my sons are dear to me as life; but in no case can I afford to spare Rama, my lord. My lovely boys, who are yet too young, are no match for the most hideous and relentless demons." The enlightened hermit Visvamitra felt delighted at heart to hear the king's reply, steeped as it was in the nectar of love. Then Vasistha pleaded with the king in manifold ways and all his doubts were gone. Most politely he sent for the two boys and pressing them to his bosom admonished them in many ways. Turning to the sage he then said, "My lord, the two boys are my very life. You are their only father now, holy sir; there is no one to look after them."

अरुन नयन उर बाहु बिसाला। नील जलज तनु स्याम तमाला।। कटि पट पीत कसें बर भाथा। रुचिर चाप सायक दुहुँ हाथा।। स्याम गौर सुंदर दोउ भाई। बिस्बामित्र महानिधि पाई।। प्रभु ब्रह्मन्यदेव मै जाना। मोहि निति पिता तजेहु भगवाना।। चले जात मुनि दीन्हि दिखाई। सुनि ताड़का क्रोध करि धाई।। एकहिं बान प्रान हरि लीन्हा। दीन जानि तेहि निज पद दीन्हा।। तब रिषि निज नाथहि जियँ चीन्ही। बिद्यानिधि कहुँ बिद्या दीन्ही।। जाते लाग न छुधा पिपासा। अतुलित बल तनु तेज प्रकासा।।

The Lord had reddish eyes, a broad chest and long arms; His body was dark as the blue lotus or the Tamala tree. With a beautiful quiver fastened at His back with a yellow piece of cloth wrapped round His waist, He held in His two hands a lovely bow and arrow respectively. In the two pretty boys, one of whom was dark and the other fair, Visvamitra secured a great treasure. "I have now realized," said he to himself, "that the Lord is a votary of the Brahmanas; on my account He has left His own father." While on the way the sage pointed out the demoness Tadaka, who on hearing their voice rushed up in a fury. With a single shaft the Lord took her life and recognizing her as deserving of compassion bestowed His own state on her. Then the seer Visvamitra, while recognizing his lord as the fountain of knowledge, imparted to Him a sacred formula which armed Him against hunger and thirst and endowed Him with unequalled strength of body and a glow of vigour.

Invoking various blessings on the boys the king committed them to the care of the sage; then they called at the mother's apartment and bowing their head at her feet departed. The two heroes, lions among men, oceans of compassion, resolute of purpose and the ultimate cause of the whole universe, gladly proceeded to rid the sage of his fear.

यह सब चरित कहा मैं गाई। आगिलि कथा सुनहु मन लाई।। बिस्वामित्र महामुनि ग्यानी। बसहि बिपिन सुभ आश्रम जानी।। जहँ जप जग्य मुनि करही। अति मारीच सुबाहुहि डरहीं।। देखत जग्य निसाचर धावहि। करहि उपद्रव मुनि दुख पावहिं।। गाधितनय मन चिंता ब्यापी। हरि बिनु मरहि न निसिचर पापी।। तब मुनिवर मन कीन्ह बिचारा। प्रभु अवतरेउ हरन महि भारा।। एहुँ मिस देखौं पद जाई। करि बिनती आनौ दोउ भाई।। ग्यान बिराग सकल गुन अयना। सो प्रभु मै देखब भरि नयना।।

All this story has been sung by me; now hear attentively what followed. The great enlightened hermit Visvamitra lived in a forest knowing it to be a sacred spot. There he practised Japa (muttering of sacred formulas) and Yoga (contemplation) and performed sacrifices; but he was much afraid of the demons Marica and Subahu. For as soon as they saw a sacrifice they would hasten to desecrate it to the great chagrin of the sage, who felt disturbed in his mind and thought that the wicked Raksasas could not be disposed of without Sri Hari. The great sage then said to himself, "The Lord has already taken birth in order to relieve the earth of its burden. Let me make the outrage of the demons an excuse of seeing His feet and after due entreaty bring the two brothers here. I will regale my eyes with the sight of Him who is the abode of knowledge, dispassion and all virtues."
