Doha 129
सुनु मुनि मोह होइ मन ताकें। ग्यान बिराग हृदय नहिं जाकें॥ ब्रह्मचरज ब्रत रत मतिधीरा। तुम्हहि कि करइ मनोभव पीरा॥१॥
नारद कहेउ सहित अभिमाना। कृपा तुम्हारि सकल भगवाना॥ करुनानिधि मन दीख बिचारी। उर अंकुरेउ गरब तरु भारी॥२॥
बेगि सो मैं डारिहउँ उखारी। पन हमार सेवक हितकारी॥ मुनि कर हित मम कौतुक होई। अवसि उपाय करबि मैं सोई॥३॥
तब नारद हरि पद सिर नाई। चले हृदयँ अहमिति अधिकाई॥ श्रीपति निज माया तब प्रेरी। सुनहु कठिन करनी तेहि केरी॥४॥
Meaning
“Listen, O sage! the mind of him alone is susceptible to delusion whose heart is devoid of wisdom and dispassion. You are steadfast in your vow of celibacy and resolute of mind; how can you be ever smitten with pangs of Love.” (1) Nārada replied with a feeling of pride, “Lord it is all due to Your grace.” The compassionate Lord pondered and saw that the seed of a huge tree of pride had sprouted in his heart. (2) “I shall soon tear it up by roots; for it is My vow to serve the best interest of My servants (followers). I must contrive some plan which may do good to the sage and serve as a pastime for Me.” (3) Then, bowing his head at the feet of Śrī Hari, Nārada departed. The pride in his heart had swelled. The Lord of Lakṣmī—the goddess of prosperity—Lord Viṣṇu then set His Māyā into operation. Now hear of her relentless doings: (4)
बिरचेउ मग महुँ नगर तेहिं सत जोजन बिस्तार। श्रीनिवासपुर तें अधिक रचना बिबिध प्रकार॥१२९॥
Meaning
The Lord’s Māyā (deluding potency) created on the way a city with an area of eight hundred square miles. The manifold architectural beauties of that city excelled even those of Viṣṇu’s own capital (Vaikuṇṭha). (129)
