राम-लषन जब दृष्टि परे, री। अवलोकत सब लोग जनकपुर मानो बिधि बिबिध बिदेह करे, री॥ १ ॥ धनुषजग्य कमनीय अवनि-तल कौतुकही भए आय खरे, री। छबि-सुरसभा मनहु मनसिजके कलित कलपतरु रूप फरे, री॥ २ ॥ सकल काम बरषत मुख निरखत, करषत, चित हित हरष भरे, री। तुलसी सबै सराहत भूपहि भलै पैत पासे सुढर ढरे, री॥ ३ ॥
Friend, when Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa came into view, all the people of Janakpur who beheld them seemed to have been made many Videhas—bodiless ones—by Fate. (1) They came and stood as if in mere sport upon the lovely ground of the bow-sacrifice. It seemed that from the divine assembly of beauty, two lovely wish-granting trees of Love had borne the fruit of form. (2) The sight of their faces rains down every desire, draws the heart, and fills it with love and joy. Tulsī says everyone praises the king: his wager was good and his dice fell well. (3)
