# Bal Kand · Doha 133

**चौ०** 
> कुपथ माग रुज ब्याकुल रोगी। बैद न देइ सुनहु मुनि जोगी॥  
> एहि बिधि हित तुम्हार मैं ठयऊ। कहि अस अंतरहित प्रभु भयऊ॥ १ ॥

**चौ०** 
> माया बिबस भए मुनि मूढ़ा। समुझी नहिं हरि गिरा निगूढ़ा॥  
> गवने तुरत तहाँ रिषिराई। जहाँ स्वयंबर भूमि बनाई॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> निज निज आसन बैठे राजा। बहु बनाव करि सहित समाजा॥  
> मुनि मन हरष रूप अति मोरें। मोहि तजि आनहि बरिहि न भोरें॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> मुनि हित कारन कृपानिधाना। दीन्ह कुरूप न जाइ बखाना॥  
> सो चरित्र लखि काहुँ न पावा। नारद जानि सबहिं सिर नावा॥४॥

Meaning: “Listen, O meditative sage! if a patient, distracted by his malady, asks for something which is harmful to him, the physician would not give it. In a like manner I have resolved on doing what is good for you.” So saying, the Lord disappeared. (1)

Under the spell of His Māyā the sage was so mystified that he could not understand even such unambiguous words of Śrī Hari. The chief of seers hastened to the spot where the arena for the self-choice of bridegroom (Svayaṁbara) had been set up. (2)

Richly adorned, the royal suitors had occupied their respective seats, each with his retinue. The sage was glad at heart; for he thought within himself, “My beauty is so surpassing that the princess will never commit the error of choosing for her husband anyone other than me.” (3)

In the sage’s own interest the gracious Lord had made him hideous beyond description. But no one could mark the change that had taken place in him; everyone took him to be Nārada and honoured him as such. (4)

**दो०** 
> रहे तहाँ दुइ रुद्र गन ते जानहिं सब भेउ।  
> बिप्रबेष देखत फिरहिं परम कौतुकी तेउ॥१३३॥

Meaning: Two of Śiva’s attendants too happened to be there. They knew the whole secret and disguised as Brāhmaṇas went about enjoying the fun. (133)
