Doha 114
रामकथा सुंदर कर तारी। संसय बिहग उड़ावनिहारी॥ रामकथा कलि बिटप कुठारी। सादर सुनु गिरिराजकुमारी॥१॥
राम नाम गुन चरित सुहाए। जनम करम अगनित श्रुति गाए॥ जथा अनंत राम भगवाना। तथा कथा कीरति गुन नाना॥२॥
तदपि जथा श्रुत जसि मति मोरी। कहिहउँ देखि प्रीति अति तोरी॥ उमा प्रस्न तव सहज सुहाई। सुखद संतसंमत मोहि भाई॥३॥
एक बात नहिं मोहि सोहानी। जदपि मोह बस कहेहु भवानी॥ तुम्ह जो कहा राम कोउ आना। जेहि श्रुति गाव धरहिं मुनि ध्याना॥४॥
Meaning
“The story of Śrī Rāma is the lovely clap of hand-palms which scares away the birds of doubt. Even so, the story of Śrī Rāma is an axe to the tree of Kaliyuga (the impurities of the Kali age); listen to it with reverence, O Girirāja Kumārī. (1) “The charming names of Śrī Rāma, as well as His virtues, stories of births and deeds have all been declared by the Vedas to be innumerable. Infinite is the divine Śrī Rāma; even so, His stories, glory and virtues are also endless. (2) “Yet, seeing your great love, I will tell them even as I have heard them to the best of my comprehension. Pārvatī, your inquiries are naturally winsome and delightful and such as are approved of by the saints; as for myself, I am particularly pleased to hear them. (3) “But there is one thing, Pārvatī, which I have not liked, although you expressed it under a spell of delusion: you questioned whether Śrī Rāma, whom the Vedas extol and on whom the sages contemplate, is someone else! (4)
कहहिं सुनहिं अस अधम नर ग्रसे जे मोह पिसाच। पाषंडी हरि पद बिमुख जानहिं झूठ न साच॥११४॥
Meaning
“Such words are spoken and heard by those vile men alone who are possessed by the devil of infatuation, are impious and averse to the feet of Śrī Hari and know no difference between truth and falsehood. (114)
