Bāla Kāṇḍa·Chaupāī·4.1
भए प्रगट कृपाला दीनदयाला। कौसल्या हितकारी॥ हरषित महतारी मुनि मन हारी। अद्भुत रूप बिचारी॥
bhaye pragaṭa kṛpālā dīnadayālā, kausalyā hitakārī | haraṣita mahatārī muni mana hārī, adbhuta rūpa bicārī ||
English rendering

The compassionate one, kind to the afflicted, has appeared — the very kinsman of Kauśalyā’s heart. The mother is joyful; the sages’ minds are stolen by that wonderful form; one can only look, and consider.

हिन्दी अनुवाद

कृपालु, दीनों पर दयालु, कौसल्या के हितकारी प्रभु प्रकट हुए हैं। माता हर्षित हैं; मुनियों के मन को हरने वाला ऐसा अद्भुत रूप देखकर सब स्तम्भित रह जाते हैं।

Context — editorial

The moment of Rāma’s birth, sung in the mother Kauśalyā’s presence. Tulsīdās does not describe the birth clinically. He describes it as one describes an unexpected sunrise — a form so extraordinary that even sages, trained to be unmoved, lose their minds to it.
