Sanskrit Original
मुदित महिपति मंदिर आए। सेवक सचिव सुमंत्रु बोलाए।। कहि जयजीव सीस तिन्ह नाए। भूप सुमंगल बचन सुनाए।। जौं पाँचहि मत लागै नीका। करहु हरषि हियँ रामहि टीका।। मंत्री मुदित सुनत प्रिय बानी। अभिमत बिरवँ परेउ जनु पानी।। बिनती सचिव करहि कर जोरी। जिअहु जगतपति बरिस करोरी।। जग मंगल भल काजु बिचारा। बेगिअ नाथ न लाइअ बारा।। नृपहि मोदु सुनि सचिव सुभाषा। बढ़त बौंड़ जनु लही सुसाखा।।
mudita mahipati maṃdira āē. sēvaka saciva sumaṃtru bōlāē.. kahi jayajīva sīsa tinha nāē. bhūpa sumaṃgala bacana sunāē.. jauṃ pāomcahi mata lāgai nīkā. karahu haraṣi hiyaom rāmahi ṭīkā.. maṃtrī mudita sunata priya bānī. abhimata biravaom parēu janu pānī.. binatī saciva karahi kara jōrī. jiahu jagatapati barisa karōrī.. jaga maṃgala bhala kāju bicārā. bēgia nātha na lāia bārā.. nṛpahi mōdu suni saciva subhāṣā. baḍhata bauṃḍa janu lahī susākhā..
The king returned rejoicing to his palace and summoned his servants and counsellors including Sumantra. They bowed their heads saying, "Victory to you may you live long;" and the king placed before them the most auspicious proposal. "If this proposal finds favour with you all, instal Sri Rama on the throne with a cheerful heart." The counsellors were glad to hear these agreeable words, which fell like a shower on the young plant of their desire. The ministers prayed with joined palms: "May you continue to live for millions of years, O sovereign of the world. You have thought out a good plan which is a source of happiness to the whole world; therefore, lord, make haste and lose no time." The king was pleased to hear the encouraging words of the ministers; it looked as if a growing creeper had obtained the support of a strong bough.
