Bāla Kāṇḍa·Chaupāī·1.4
उघरहिं बिमल बिलोचन ही के। मिटहिं दोष दुख भव रजनी के॥ सूझहिं राम चरित मनि मानिक। गुपुत प्रगट जहँ जो जेहि खानिक॥
ugharahiṁ bimala bilocana hī ke, miṭahiṁ doṣa dukha bhava rajanī ke | sūjhahiṁ rāma carita mani mānika, guputa pragaṭa jahã jo jehi khānika ||
English Rendering

The clear eyes of the heart open at that touch; the flaws and the sorrows of the night of becoming are wiped away. The gems and rubies of Rāma’s deeds — hidden or shining, wherever, of whichever mine — become visible.

हिन्दी अनुवाद

उसी प्रकाश से हृदय की निर्मल आँखें खुल जाती हैं, और संसार-रूपी रात्रि के दोष तथा दुःख मिट जाते हैं। तब जहाँ जो राम-चरित रूपी मणि-माणिक्य किसी भी खान में गुप्त या प्रकट पड़े हैं, वे दिखाई देने लगते हैं।

Context — Editorial

The closing stanza of Chaupāī 1. Now the heart is open, the darkness is gone, and the vision Tulsīdās has been describing arrives: the whole of Rāma’s story, hidden in a hundred mines, becomes visible. The imagery of gems in mines is deliberate — the deeds of Rāma are not invented, only uncovered.
