Before Janaka stands the root from which every happiness grows. The unseen source sought by yogis and indicated by the Vedas has become visible to the king's own eyes.
The doha gathers all worldly gain into one truth: every attainment comes to living beings when the Lord turns favourable toward them.
Janaka reads the wedding not as personal achievement but as grace made concrete. Sita's marriage, the union of the two houses, the presence of sages, and Ram's nearness are branches of a single blessing. When the source is recognized, gain loses the hard boundary of possession. Happiness becomes the radiance of divine favour appearing through circumstance.
Janaka sees all fortune return to its root in the Lord standing before his eyes.
Read the passage from the Manas
नयन बिषय मो कहुँ भयउ सो समस्त सुख मूल। सबइ लाभु जग जीव कहँ भएँ ईसु अनुकुल।।341।।
He who is the root of all happiness has become visible before my very eyes. All gains in this world come to living beings when the Lord turns favorable toward them.
