# Bal Kand · Doha 118

**चौ०** 
> एहि बिधि जग हरि आश्रित रहई। जदपि असत्य देत दुख अहई॥  
> जौं सपनें सिर काटै कोई। बिनु जागें न दूरि दुख होई॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> जासु कृपाँ अस भ्रम मिटि जाई। गिरिजा सोइ कृपाल रघुराई॥  
> आदि अंत कोउ जासु न पावा। मति अनुमानि निगम अस गावा॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> बिनु पद चलइ सुनइ बिनु काना। कर बिनु करम करइ बिधि नाना॥  
> आनन रहित सकल रस भोगी। बिनु बानी बकता बड़ जोगी॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> तन बिनु परस नयन बिनु देखा। ग्रहइ घ्रान बिनु बास असेषा॥  
> असि सब भाँति अलौकिक करनी। महिमा जासु जाइ नहिं बरनी॥४॥

Meaning: “In a like manner is this world of matter superimposed on Hari. Though unreal, it gives us pain nonetheless, just as if a man’s head is cut off in a dream, he is not rid of pain till he wakes up. (1)

“Pārvatī, He whose grace wipes out such delusion is none else than the benevolent Śrī Raghunātha. Nobody has been able to discover His beginning or end. Basing their conclusions on speculation the Vedas have described Him in the following words: (2)

“He (Brahma) walks without feet, hears without ears and performs actions of various kinds even without hands. He enjoys all tastes without a mouth (palate) and is a most erudite speaker even though devoid of tongue: (3)

“He touches without a body (the tactile sense), sees without eyes and catches all odours even without a nose (the olfactory sense). His ways are thus supernatural in every respect and His glory is beyond description. (4)

**दो०** 
> जेहि इमि गावहिं बेद बुध जाहि धरहिं मुनि ध्यान।  
> सोइ दसरथ सुत भगत हित कोसलपति भगवान॥११८॥

Meaning: “He who is thus extolled by the Vedas and men of wisdom and on whom the sages love to contemplate, is no other than the divine Śrī Rāma, son of Daśaratha, lord of Ayodhyā, the saviour of His devotees. (118)
