सुनि सकुचि सोचहिं जनक गुर पद बंदि रघुनंदन चले।
नहिं हरष हृदय बिषाद कछु भए सगुन सुभ मंगल भले॥
(Just sit back, relax and enjoy; don’t be perturbed or exasperated. Watch calmly as Lord Ram breaks the bow, and then watch the reaction on the kings and princes. Watch their long faces as they shrivel up and wither in humiliation, ignominy and shame when the bow finally breaks.)
Hearing this, Janak became hesitant, unable to decide what to do. He pondered over the matter even as Lord Sri Ram bowed at the feet of his Guru (Vishwamitra) to pay his obeisance and started to walk towards the bow’. The Lord was emotionless and calm; he had no disturbances in his mind. He was neither joyful at having got this opportunity, nor apprehensive and doubtful at the outcome. He neither exulted nor sulked.
When he moved towards the bow majestically, there were many auspicious signs and good omens portending good tidings and indicating success.
