The voice tells sages, siddhas, and lords of the gods to abandon fear. For their sake, the Lord will assume human form within the noble solar dynasty, entering earthly lineage with his divine portions.
Kashyapa and Aditi once performed great tapasya and received his boon. They now live in Kosala as King Dasharatha and Queen Kausalya. In their home he will take birth with three brothers who will become ornaments of Raghu's line.
Narada's words will be fulfilled, supreme Shakti will accompany the incarnation, and Earth's burden will be removed. The gods hear the promise and return with joy. Brahma consoles the cow, whose heart becomes fearless as divine birth moves from ancient boon toward approaching time.
The unseen Lord names Dasharatha's house, and Ayodhya becomes the centre of heaven's hope.

जनि डरपहु मुनि सिद्ध सुरेसा। तुम्हहि लागि धरिहउँ नर बेसा।। अंसन्ह सहित मनुज अवतारा। लेहउँ दिनकर बंस उदारा।। कस्यप अदिति महातप कीन्हा। तिन्ह कहुँ मैं पूरब बर दीन्हा।। ते दसरथ कौसल्या रूपा। कोसलपुरीं प्रगट नरभूपा।। तिन्ह के गृह अवतरिहउँ जाई। रघुकुल तिलक सो चारिउ भाई।। नारद बचन सत्य सब करिहउँ। परम सक्ति समेत अवतरिहउँ।। हरिहउँ सकल भूमि गरुआई। निर्भय होहु देव समुदाई।। गगन ब्रह्मबानी सुनी काना। तुरत फिरे सुर हृदय जुड़ाना।। तब ब्रह्मा धरनिहि समुझावा। अभय भई भरोस जियँ आवा।।
"Fear not, O sages, siddhas, and king of the gods. For your sake, I shall take on human form. With My divine portions (amshas), I shall incarnate as a man, taking birth in the noble and radiant dynasty of the Sun."
