राजन! राम-लषन जो दीजै। जस रावरो, लाभ ढोटनिहूँ, मुनि सनाथ सब कीजै॥ १ ॥ डरपत हौ साचे सनेह-बस सुत-प्रभाव बिनु जाने। बूझिय बामदेव अरु कुलगुरु, तुम पुनि परम सयाने॥ २ ॥ रिपु रन दलि, मख राखि, कुसल अति अलप दिननि घर ऐटहैं। तुलसिदास रघुबंसतिलककी कबिकुल कीरति गैहैं॥ ३ ॥
King, if you will give Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa, yours will be the fame, the boys will gain greatly, and all the sages will have a protector. (1) You are afraid from genuine affection because you do not know your sons' power. Ask Vāmadeva and your family guru; besides, you yourself are supremely wise. (2) Crushing their foes in battle and guarding the sacrifice, they will return home safely in very few days. Tulsīdāsa says: generations of poets will sing the fame of these crest-jewels of Raghu's line. (3)
