Ayodhya Kand Verse 114
सीता लखन सहित रघुराई। गाँव निकट जब निकसहिं जाई ॥
सुनि सब बाल बृद्ध नर नारी। चलहिं तुरत गृहकाजु बिसारी ॥
राम लखन सिय रूप निहारी। पाइ नयनफलु होहिं सुखारी ॥
सजल बिलोचन पुलक सरीरा। सब भए मगन देखि दोउ बीरा ॥
बरनि न जाइ दसा तिन्ह केरी। लहि जनु रंकन्ह सुरमनि ढेरी ॥
एकन्ह एक बोलि सिख देहीं। लोचन लाहु लेहु छन एहीं ॥
रामहि देखि एक अनुरागे। चितवत चले जाहिं सँग लागे ॥
एक नयन मग छबि उर आनी। होहिं सिथिल तन मन बर बानी ॥
दो. एक देखिं बट छाँह भलि डासि मृदुल तृन पात।
कहहिं गवाँइअ छिनुकु श्रमु गवनब अबहिं कि प्रात ॥ ११४ ॥sītā lakhana sahita raghurāī| gā~va nikaṭa jaba nikasahiṃ jāī ||

Beholding the beauty of Ram, Lakshman and Sita they felt their eyes had earned their purpose; they were filled with joy, eyes brimming with tears, bodies thrilled with delight — all were absorbed in the sight of the two heroes. Their condition was beyond description, as if the destitute had found a mountain of wish-fulfilling gems. They called one another, saying — take the reward of your eyes this very moment! Some, overcome with love at the sight of Ram, began walking alongside him, while others, having lodged the image in their hearts, became limp with bliss.
जब सीता, लक्ष्मण-सहित रघुराज किसी गाँव के पास से निकलते तो सुनते ही बूढ़े-बच्चे, नर-नारी सब घर का काम छोड़कर तुरन्त चल पड़ते। राम, लक्ष्मण और सीता का रूप देखकर नेत्र-फल पाते और सुखी होते; नेत्र जल से भर जाते, शरीर पुलकित हो जाता — सब दोनों वीरों को देखकर मग्न हो जाते। उनकी दशा वर्णन से परे थी — मानो दरिद्रों को चिन्तामणि की ढेरी मिल गई। एक दूसरे को बुलाकर कहते — इस क्षण नेत्रों का लाभ लो! राम को देखकर एक अनुरागी तो चलते-चलते साथ ही हो लेते और एक छवि को हृदय में बसाकर शिथिल हो जाते।
