बोले राज देनको, रजायसु भो काननको, आनन प्रसन्न, मन मोद, बड़ो काज भो। मातु-पिता-बन्धु-हित आपनो परम हित, मोको बीसहूकै ईस अनुकूल आजु भो॥ १ ॥ असन अजीरनको समुझि तिलक तज्यो, बिपिन-गवनु भले भूखेको सुनाजु भो। धरम-धुरीन धीर बीर रघुबीरजूको, कोटि राज सरिस भरतजूको राजु भो॥ २ ॥ ऐसी बातें कहत सुनत मग-लोगनकी, चले जात बंधु दोउ मुनिको सो साज भो। ध्याइबेको, गाइबेको, सेइबे सुमिरिबेको, तुलसीको सब भाँति सुखद समाज भो॥ ३ ॥
The king spoke of giving the kingdom, but the command became one for the forest; Rāma’s face brightened and his heart rejoiced—a great purpose had been accomplished. It served the good of mother, father, and brother, and his own highest good; ‘Today the Lord of all twenty parts is wholly favorable to me.’ (1) Regarding the coronation as food offered to one with indigestion, he renounced it; He received the forest journey as wholesome grain received by the hungry. For steadfast, heroic Raghubīra, bearer of the burden of dharma, Bharata’s kingship was equal to millions of kingdoms of his own. (2) Listening as the people along the road spoke such words, The two brothers went onward dressed like sages. For meditation, song, service, and remembrance, Tulsī found their whole company delightful in every way. (3)
