Doha 123

चौ०

मुकुत न भए हते भगवाना। तीनि जनम द्विज बचन प्रवाना॥ एक बार तिन्ह के हित लागी। धरेउ सरीर भगत अनुरागी॥१॥

चौ०

कस्यप अदिति तहाँ पितु माता। दसरथ कौसल्या बिख्याता॥ एक कलप एहि बिधि अवतारा। चरित पवित्र किए संसारा॥२॥

चौ०

एक कलप सुर देखि दुखारे। समर जलंधर सन सब हारे॥ संभु कीन्ह संग्राम अपारा। दनुज महाबल मरइ न मारा॥३॥

चौ०

परम सती असुराधिप नारी। तेहिं बल ताहि न जितहिं पुरारी॥४॥

Meaning

“Even though slain by the Lord, the two brothers (Hiraṇyākṣa and Hiraṇyakaśipu) did not attain liberation, for the Brāhmaṇas had doomed them to three births. It was on their account that the Lord, a lover of the devotees, bodied Himself forth on one occasion. (1) “In that birth Kaśyapa and Aditi were His parents, who were known by the names of Daśaratha and Kauśalyā, respectively. This was how in one Kalpa (round of creation) the Lord incarnated in human form and performed purifying deeds on earth. (2) “In another Kalpa all the gods were worsted in their conflict with the demon Jalandhara. Seeing their distress Śiva waged war against him, which knew no end; but the demon, who possessed great might, could not be killed in spite of His best efforts. (3) “The wife of the demon chief was a most pious lady. Armed by the strength of her chastity, the demon could not be conquered even by Śiva, the vanquisher of Tripura. (4)

दो०

छल करि टारेउ तासु ब्रत प्रभु सुर कारज कीन्ह। जब तेहिं जानेउ मरम तब श्राप कोप करि दीन्ह॥१२३॥

Meaning

“By a stratagem the Lord broke her vow of chastity and accomplished the task of the gods. When the lady discovered the deceit, she cursed Him in her wrath. (123)
