# Ayodhya Kand · Doha 127

**चौ०** 
> जगु पेखन तुम्ह देखनिहारे। बिधि हरि संभु नचावनिहारे॥  
> तेउ न जानहिं मरमु तुम्हारा। औरु तुम्हहि को जाननिहारा॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> सोइ जानइ जेहि देहु जनाई। जानत तुम्हहि तुम्हइ होइ जाई॥  
> तुम्हरिहि कृपाँ तुम्हहि रघुनंदन। जानहिं भगत भगत उर चंदन॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> चिदानंदमय देह तुम्हारी। बिगत बिकार जान अधिकारी॥  
> नर तनु धरेहु संत सुर काजा। कहहु करहु जस प्राकृत राजा॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> राम देखि सुनि चरित तुम्हारे। जड़ मोहहिं बुध होहिं सुखारे॥  
> तुम्ह जो कहहु करहु सबु साँचा। जस काछिअ तस चाहिअ नाचा॥४॥

Meaning: “This world is a spectacle and You are its spectator; nay, You make even Brahmā (the Creator), Viṣṇu (the Preserver) and Śaṅkara (the Destroyer) dance to Your tune. Even these latter know not Your mystery; then who else can know You? (1)

“In fact, he alone can know You, to whom You make Yourself known; and the moment he knows You, he becomes one with You. It is by Your grace, O Raghunandana, that Your votaries come to know You, O Solace of the heart of Your devotees. (2)

“Your body is all consciousness and bliss (not subject to the laws of nature) and is devoid of any changes; it is the competent alone who realize this. It is for the sake of saints and gods that You have assumed a human semblance and speak and act even as worldly monarchs do. (3)

“The stupid get puzzled while the wise feel delighted when they see or hear of Your doings. All that You say or do is true; for one should play the role one has assumed on the stage. (4)

**दो०** 
> पूँछेहु मोहि कि रहौं कहँ मैं पूँछत सकुचाउँ।  
> जहँ न होहु तहँ देहु कहि तुम्हहि देखावौं ठाउँ॥१२७॥

Meaning: “You ask me: ‘Where should I take up my residence?’ But I feel shy to ask You: tell me first the place where You are not; then alone I will show You a suitable place.” (127)
