जे महिसुर दसरथ पुर बासी। जे मिथिलापति नगर निवासी।। हंस बंस गुर जनक पुरोधा। जिन्ह जग मगु परमारथु सोधा।। लगे कहन उपदेस अनेका। सहित धरम नय बिरति बिबेका।। कौसिक कहि कहि कथा पुरानीं। समुझाई सब सभा सुबानीं।। तब रघुनाथ कोसिकहि कहेऊ। नाथ कालि जल बिनु सबु रहेऊ।। मुनि कह उचित कहत रघुराई। गयउ बीति दिन पहर अढ़ाई।। रिषि रुख लखि कह तेरहुतिराजू। इहाँ उचित नहिं असन अनाजू।। कहा भूप भल सबहि सोहाना। पाइ रजायसु चले नहाना।।
jē mahisura dasaratha pura bāsī. jē mithilāpati nagara nivāsī.. haṃsa baṃsa gura janaka purōdhā. jinha jaga magu paramārathu sōdhā.. lagē kahana upadēsa anēkā. sahita dharama naya birati bibēkā.. kausika kahi kahi kathā purānīṃ. samujhāī saba sabhā subānīṃ.. taba raghunātha kōsikahi kahēū. nātha kāli jala binu sabu rahēū.. muni kaha ucita kahata raghurāī. gayau bīti dina pahara aḍhaāī.. riṣi rukha lakhi kaha tērahutirājū. ihāom ucita nahiṃ asana anājū.. kahā bhūpa bhala sabahi sōhānā. pāi rajāyasu calē nahānā..
The Brahmanas who hailed from King Dasaratha's capital (Ayodhya) as well as those who came from King Janaka's capital (Mithila) and even so Vasistha, the preceptor of the solar race, and Satananda, the family priest of King Janaka, who had explored the way to worldly prosperity as well as the path leading to blessedness, gave discourse on many a topic including religion, ethics, dispassion and saving knowledge. The sage Visvamitra (a descendant of Kusika) eloquently admonished the entire assembly with many a reference to ancient legends till the Lord of Raghus said to him, "Everyone, my lord, has remained without water since yesterday" Said the sage, "What the Lord of Raghus says is quite reasonable. It is already past noon even today." Perceiving what was in the mind of the sage (Visvamitra) the King of Tirahuta (Mithila) replied, "It will not be desirable to take cereals here." The king's reasonable reply pleased all; and having received the sage's permission they proceeded to perform their midday ablutions.

एहि बिधि बासर बीते चारी। रामु निरखि नर नारि सुखारी।। दुहु समाज असि रुचि मन माहीं। बिनु सिय राम फिरब भल नाहीं।। सीता राम संग बनबासू। कोटि अमरपुर सरिस सुपासू।। परिहरि लखन रामु बैदेही। जेहि घरु भाव बाम बिधि तेही।। दाहिन दइउ होइ जब सबही। राम समीप बसिअ बन तबही।। मंदाकिनि मज्जनु तिहु काला। राम दरसु मुद मंगल माला।। अटनु राम गिरि बन तापस थल। असनु अमिअ सम कंद मूल फल।। सुख समेत संबत दुइ साता। पल सम होहिं न जनिअहिं जाता।।
ēhi bidhi bāsara bītē cārī. rāmu nirakhi nara nāri sukhārī.. duhu samāja asi ruci mana māhīṃ. binu siya rāma phiraba bhala nāhīṃ.. sītā rāma saṃga banabāsū. kōṭi amarapura sarisa supāsū.. parihari lakhana rāmu baidēhī. jēhi gharu bhāva bāma bidhi tēhī.. dāhina daiu hōi jaba sabahī. rāma samīpa basia bana tabahī.. maṃdākini majjanu tihu kālā. rāma darasu muda maṃgala mālā.. aṭanu rāma giri bana tāpasa thala. asanu amia sama kaṃda mūla phala.. sukha samēta saṃbata dui sātā. pala sama hōhiṃ na janiahiṃ jātā..
In this way four days rolled by; the people, both men and women, were gratified to see Sri Rama. In both camps the feeling uppermost in the heart of all was;"It is not good to return without Sita and Rama. Living in excile in the woods with Sita and Sri Rama one would be millions of times more happy than in Amaravati (the city of immortals) . Leaving the company of Laksmana, Sri Rama and Sita he who chooses to live at his home is not favoured by Providence. The privilege of living in close proximity to Sri Rama can be had only when God is propitious to us all. Bathing in the Mandakini thrice everyday, the sight of Sri Rama, which is a perennial source of joy and blessedness, roaming about on the hill (Kamadanatha) associated with the name of Sri Rama, in the forest adjoining the same and among the hermitages of ascetics situated thereabout, and living on bulbs, roots and fruits delicious like ambrosia! In this way four years and ten will be happily spent like a minute without our knowing it.

The river flooded the banks of wisdom and dispassion and was joined in its course by tributary streams and rivulets in the form of sorrowful utterances. Sighs and lamentation severally represented the waves and the wind that uprooted the stout tree of fortitude standing on its banks. It had deep sorrow for its swift current, while fear and delusion constituted its numberless eddies and whirlpools. Boatmen in the form of the learned waited with big boats in the form of their learning; but they were unable to row them, because they had no idea of its depth. The Kolas and Kiratas that roamed about in the woods were the poor wayfarers who had lost heart at the sight of the turbulent stream and stood aghast. When the stream joined the ocean of the hermitage, the latter too surged up as it were with emotion. The two royal hosts were so excited with grief that they had no sense, fortitude or shame left. Extolling King Dasaratha's comeliness of form, goodness and amiability they all wept and were plunged into an ocean of woe.

कामद मे गिरि राम प्रसादा। अवलोकत अपहरत बिषादा।। सर सरिता बन भूमि बिभागा। जनु उमगत आनँद अनुरागा।। बेलि बिटप सब सफल सफूला। बोलत खग मृग अलि अनुकूला।। तेहि अवसर बन अधिक उछाहू। त्रिबिध समीर सुखद सब काहू।। जाइ न बरनि मनोहरताई। जनु महि करति जनक पहुनाई।। तब सब लोग नहाइ नहाई। राम जनक मुनि आयसु पाई।। देखि देखि तरुबर अनुरागे। जहँ तहँ पुरजन उतरन लागे।। दल फल मूल कंद बिधि नाना। पावन सुंदर सुधा समाना।।

By the grace of Sri Rama the hills yielded the objects of one's desire and dispelled one's sorrow by their very sight. The lakes, streams, woods and other parts of the land overflowed as it were with joy and love. The trees and creepers were all laden with fruits and blossoms, while birds and beasts and bees made a melodious concert. The forest was bursting with joy at that time; a cool, soft and fragrant breeze delighted everyone. The loveliness of the forest was past all telling; it seemed as if Earth herself was showing her hospitality of King Janaka. In the meantime all the citizens finished their ablutions and receiving the permission of Sri Rama, King Janaka and the sage Vasistha, they gazed with love on the many noble trees and began to encamp here and there; while leaves, fruits, roots and bulbs of every description- pure, lovely and delicious as ambrosia-

Plunged into an ocean of grief the men and women lamented in great anguish. They all angrily and reproachfully exclaimed,"Alas! What has cruel Fate done!" Of the gods, accomplished saints, ascetics, Yogis (mystics) and anchorites, whoever witnessed the condition of Janaka on that occasion, none, says Tulasidasa, was strong enough to cross the river of love (to escape being drowned in it).

Can the darkness of infatuation and attachment ever approach him (King Janaka), the sun of whose wisdom drives away the night of metempsychosis and the rays of whose speech delight the lotus-like sages? That he too was plunged in grief shows the triumph of the affection he bore for his daughter, Sita and Her lord, Sri Rama. According to the Vedas there are three types of embodied soul (human beings) in the world-the sensual, the seeker and the wise who have attained perfection (in the form of GodRealization). Of all these he alone is highly honoured in an assembly of holy men, whose heart is sweetened by love for Sri Rama. Wisdom without love for Sri Rama is imperfect like a vessel without the helmsman. The sage Vasistha admonished King Videha in many ways; and now all the people bathed at the ghat associated with the name of Sri ªRama (who generally bathed and said His prayers there). All the men and women were so overwhelmed with grief that the day passed without anyone taking a drop of water. Even the cattle, birds and deer remained without food, to say nothing of Sri Rama's near and dear ones.

The Lord of Raghus led the way, accompanied by His younger brothers, the minister (Sumantra), the Guru (Vasistha) and the citizens. The moment the lord of Janakas* espied the great hill of Kamadanatha he made obeisance to it and dismounted from his car. Seized as they were with a longing and eagerness to see Sri Rama, none of the party felt the least toil or hardship of the journey. For their mind was with the Chief of Raghus and Vaidehi (Janaka's Daughter); and when the mind is elsewhere, who will feel the bodily pain or pleasure? In this way Janaka came advancing with his party, their mind intoxicated with love. When the two parties drew near and saw one another they were overwhelmed with love and began to exchange greetings with due respect. King Janaka proceeded to adore the feet of the hermits (who hailed from Ayodhya); while Sri Rama, the Delighter of Raghus, made obeisance to the sages (who accompanied Janaka). Sri Rama and His younger brothers then greeted the king (their father-in-law) and led him with the whole party (to His hermitage).
