Sanskrit Original
राम सप्रेम कहेउ मुनि पाहीं। नाथ कहिअ हम केहि मग जाहीं।। मुनि मन बिहसि राम सन कहहीं। सुगम सकल मग तुम्ह कहुँ अहहीं।। साथ लागि मुनि सिष्य बोलाए। सुनि मन मुदित पचासक आए।। सबन्हि राम पर प्रेम अपारा। सकल कहहि मगु दीख हमारा।। मुनि बटु चारि संग तब दीन्हे। जिन्ह बहु जनम सुकृत सब कीन्हे।। करि प्रनामु रिषि आयसु पाई। प्रमुदित हृदयँ चले रघुराई।। ग्राम निकट जब निकसहि जाई। देखहि दरसु नारि नर धाई।। होहि सनाथ जनम फलु पाई। फिरहि दुखित मनु संग पठाई।।

Sri Rama lovingly asked the sage, "Tell me, my lord, by which route we should go." Smiling inwardly the sage replied to Rama, "All roads are easy to You." The sage then called his pupils in order that they may escort Sri Rama; hearing his call some fifty of them came, glad of heart. They all cherished boundless love for Sri Rama and each of them said he had seen the path. The sage then sent with the royal party four religious students who had practised all kinds of virtues in a series of previous births. Making obeisance to the sage and receiving his permission the Lord of Raghus proceeded with a cheerful heart. As the party passed by some village men and women of the village ran to have a look at them. They felt gratified in having attained the fruit of their life and returned disconsolate sending their heart after the strangers.
