Sanskrit Original
एहि बिधि सकल मनोरथ करहीं। आनँद उमगि उमगि उर भरहीं।। जे नृप सीय स्वयंबर आए। देखि बंधु सब तिन्ह सुख पाए।। कहत राम जसु बिसद बिसाला। निज निज भवन गए महिपाला।। गए बीति कुछ दिन एहि भाँती। प्रमुदित पुरजन सकल बराती।। मंगल मूल लगन दिनु आवा। हिम रितु अगहनु मासु सुहावा।। ग्रह तिथि नखतु जोगु बर बारू। लगन सोधि बिधि कीन्ह बिचारू।। पठै दीन्हि नारद सन सोई। गनी जनक के गनकन्ह जोई।। सुनी सकल लोगन्ह यह बाता। कहहिं जोतिषी आहिं बिधाता।।

In this way they all prayed and a flood of joy inundated their heart. The princes who had come as Sita's suitors rejoiced to see the four brothers and returned each to his own home extolling Sri Rama's widespread and spotless fame. Thus a few days elapsed to the delight alike of the citizens and all the members of the bridegroom's party. At length the blessed day of wedding arrived; it was the delightful month of Margasirsa and the beginning of the cold season. Having carefully examined and determined the propitious nature of the planets, date, asterism, the conjunction of the stars, the day of the week and the hour of the wedding the Creator despatched the note concerning the hour of the wedding through Narada; it was just the same that Janaka's astrologers had already determined. When all the people heard of this, they observed, "The astrologers of this place are so many creators as it were."
