Doha 120
जौं ए कंद मूल फल खाहीं। बादि सुधादि असन जग माहीं॥ एक कहहिं ए सहज सुहाए। आपु प्रगट भए बिधि न बनाए॥१॥
जहँ लगि बेद कही बिधि करनी। श्रवन नयन मन गोचर बरनी॥ देखहु खोजि भुअन दस चारी। कहँ अस पुरुष कहाँ असि नारी॥२॥
इन्हहि देखि बिधि मनु अनुरागा। पटतर जोग बनावै लागा॥ कीन्ह बहुत श्रम ऐक न आए। तेहिं इरिषा बन आनि दुराए॥३॥
एक कहहिं हम बहुत न जानहिं। आपुहि परम धन्य करि मानहिं॥ ते पुनि पुन्यपुंज हम लेखे। जे देखहिं देखिहहिं जिन्ह देखे॥४॥
Meaning
“If they live on bulbs, roots and fruits alone, foods such as ambrosia exist in vain.” Some people remarked: “Naturally charming as they are, these princes must have appeared on earth of their own accord and were not made by Brahmā. (1) “In all the fourteen spheres ransack, if you will, the entire range of God’s creation described at length in the Vedas as perceptible by the ears, eyes and mind; but where can you find such men and such women as these? (2) “At their very sight Brahma’s mind got enamoured of them and he proceeded to make their match. He toiled much, but none of his products could even approach the prototype; and due to that jealousy he has brought these princes to the woods and hid them here.” (3) Others said, “We do not claim to know much, but account ourselves supremely blessed. They too are meritorious in our opinion, who see these princes or have seen them or shall see them.” (4)
एहि बिधि कहि कहि बचन प्रिय लेहिं नयन भरि नीर। किमि चलिहहिं मारग अगम सुठि सुकुमार सरीर॥१२०॥
Meaning
Making such fond remarks they filled their eyes with tears and added: ‘Most delicate of frame, how shall they be able to traverse such an impassable road?’ (120)
