ऐसे संतनकी सेवा । कर मन ऐसे संतनकी सेवा ॥ध्रु०॥ शील संतोख सदा उर जिनके । नाम रामको लेवा ॥ क०॥१॥ आन भरोसो हृदय नहि जिनके । भजन निरंजन देवा ॥ क०॥२॥ जीन मुक्त फिरे जगमाही । ज्यु नारद मुनी देवा ॥ क०॥३॥ जिनके चरन कमलकूं इच्छत । प्रयाग जमुना रेवा ॥ क०॥४॥ सूरदास कर उनकी संग । मिले निरंजन देवा ॥ क०॥५॥

Rama, Sita, and Lakshmana at the Hermitage of Bharadvaja
This exquisite folio captures a moment of profound spiritual stillness from the epic Ramayana. Here, the divine exiles Rama, Sita, and Lakshmana find sanctuary within the humble hermitage of the sage Bharadvaja. The artist, working within the tradition established by the master Nainsukh, paints with a deep reverence for the natural world: rendering the rolling hills, serene lotus ponds, and dense foliage as a living testimony to the sanctity of forest life. It is an image that breathes with the quietude of devotion, showing the royal figures transitioned into ascetic life, surrounded by the wisdom of the sage, while the world beyond continues its gentle, rhythmic flow.
