Sanskrit Original
मंडपु बिलोकि बिचीत्र रचनाँ रुचिरताँ मुनि मन हरे।। निज पानि जनक सुजान सब कहुँ आनि सिंघासन धरे।। कुल इष्ट सरिस बसिष्ट पूजे बिनय करि आसिष लही। कौसिकहि पूजत परम प्रीति कि रीति तौ न परै कही।।
maṃḍapu bilōki bicītra racanāom ruciratāom muni mana harē.. nija pāni janaka sujāna saba kahu āni siṃghāsana dharē.. kula iṣṭa sarisa basiṣṭa pūjē binaya kari āsiṣa lahī. kausikahi pūjata parama prīti ki rīti tau na parai kahī..
The marvellous art of the pavilion and its charm captivated the heart even of sages; yet wise Janaka fetched and placed with his own hands thrones for all the honoured guests. He worshipped the sage Vasistha as if he were his own family deity and supplicating before him received his blessings; while the supreme devotion with which he paid his homage to Kausika was something too great for words.
