# Bal Kand · Doha 124b

**चौ०** 
> तासु श्राप हरि दीन्ह प्रमाना। कौतुकनिधि कृपाल भगवाना॥  
> तहाँ जलंधर रावन भयऊ। रन हति राम परम पद दयऊ॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> एक जनम कर कारन एहा। जेहि लगि राम धरी नरदेहा॥  
> प्रति अवतार कथा प्रभु केरी। सुनु मुनि बरनी कबिन्ह घनेरी॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> नारद श्राप दीन्ह एक बारा। कलप एक तेहि लगि अवतारा॥  
> गिरिजा चकित भईं सुनि बानी। नारद बिष्नुभगत पुनि ग्यानी॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> कारन कवन श्राप मुनि दीन्हा। का अपराध रमापति कीन्हा॥  
> यह प्रसंग मोहि कहहु पुरारी। मुनि मन मोह आचरज भारी॥४॥

Meaning: “The sportive and gracious Lord accepted her curse. It was this Jalandhara who was reborn as Rāvaṇa in this latter Kalpa. Killing him in battle, Śrī Rāma conferred on him the supreme state (final beatitude). (1)

“This was the reason why Śrī Rāma assumed a human form in one particular birth. Listen, O Bharadvāja, the story of each birth of the Lord has been sung by poets in diverse ways. (2)

“On one occasion Nārada cursed the Lord; this served as the cause of His birth in one particular Kalpa.” Pārvatī was amazed to hear these words and said, “Nārada is a votary of God Viṣṇu and an enlightened sage too; (3)

“Wherefore did the sage pronounce a curse? What offence had Lakṣmī’s lord (Bhagavān Nārāyaṇa) committed against him? Tell me the whole story, O Slayer of the demon Tripura. It is very strange that the sage should have fallen a prey to delusion.” (4)

**दो०** 
> बोले बिहसि महेस तब ग्यानी मूढ़ न कोइ।  
> जेहि जस रघुपति करहिं जब सो तस तेहि छन होइ॥१२४ (क)॥

**सो०** 
> कहउँ राम गुन गाथ भरद्वाज सादर सुनहु।  
> भव भंजन रघुनाथ भजु तुलसी तजि मान मद॥१२४ (ख)॥

Meaning: The great Lord Śiva then replied with a smile, “There is no one enlightened or deluded. Man instantly becomes what Śrī Raghunātha wills him to be at a particular moment.” (124A)

Said Yājñavalkya, “I am going to recount the virtues of Śrī Rāma, O Bharadvāja; listen with a devout mind.” Renouncing pride and intoxication, says Tulasīdāsa, adore Śrī Rāma, who puts an end to metempsychosis (birth and rebirth). (124B)
