Janaka Asks That His Mind Never Leave Ram's Feet

सबहि भाँति मोहि दीन्हि बड़ाई। निज जन जानि लीन्ह अपनाई।। होहिं सहस दस सारद सेषा। करहिं कलप कोटिक भरि लेखा।। मोर भाग्य राउर गुन गाथा। कहि न सिराहिं सुनहु रघुनाथा।। मै कछु कहउँ एक बल मोरें। तुम्ह रीझहु सनेह सुठि थोरें।। बार बार मागउँ कर जोरें। मनु परिहरै चरन जनि भोरें।। सुनि बर बचन प्रेम जनु पोषे। पूरनकाम रामु परितोषे।। करि बर बिनय ससुर सनमाने। पितु कौसिक बसिष्ठ सम जाने।। बिनती बहुरि भरत सन कीन्ही। मिलि सप्रेमु पुनि आसिष दीन्ही।।

In every way You have bestowed greatness upon me, recognizing me as Your own and drawing me into Your protection. Even if ten thousand Saraswatis and Sheshas were to write for millions of kalpas, they could not complete the account. My good fortune and the saga of Your glorious virtues can never be fully told. Please listen, O Lord of the Raghus. I dare to speak with just one assurance: that You are pleased by even the smallest offering of love. Again and again, with folded hands, I pray: may my mind never abandon Your feet, not even for a moment. Hearing these fine words, nourished as they were by pure love, Rama, the fulfiller of all desires, was deeply pleased. With gracious reverence He honored His father-in-law, holding Kaushika and Vashishtha in equal regard. Then He made affectionate entreaties to Bharata, embraced him with love, and bestowed blessings upon him.
