Doha 139
हर गन मुनिहि जात पथ देखी। बिगत मोह मन हरष बिसेषी॥ अति सभीत नारद पहिं आए। गहि पद आरत बचन सुनाए॥१॥
हर गन हम न बिप्र मुनिराया। बड़ अपराध कीन्ह फल पाया॥ श्राप अनुग्रह करहु कृपाला। बोले नारद दीनदयाला॥२॥
निसिचर जाइ होहु तुम्ह दोऊ। बैभव बिपुल तेज बल होऊ॥ भुज बल बिस्व जितब तुम्ह जहिआ। धरिहहिं बिष्नु मनुज तनु तहिआ॥३॥
समर मरन हरि हाथ तुम्हारा। होइहहु मुकुत न पुनि संसारा॥ चले जुगल मुनि पद सिर नाई। भए निसाचर कालहि पाई॥४॥
Meaning
When the attendants of Śiva saw the sage moving along the road free from delusion and greatly delighted at heart, they approached him with great trepidation and, clasping his feet, spoke to him in great humility. (1) “We are servants of Śiva and not Brāhmaṇas, O great sage; we committed a great sin and have reaped its fruit. Now rid us of the curse, O benevolent sage.” Nārada, who was full of compassion to the humble, replied, (2) “Both of you go and take the form of demons. You shall possess an enormous fortune, grandeur and strength. When you have subdued the universe by the might of your arm, God Viṣṇu shall take a human form. (3) “Dying at His hands in battle, you shall be liberated and shall not be reborn.” Bowing their head at the sage’s feet, both departed and were reborn as demons in due course. (4)
एक कलप एहि हेतु प्रभु लीन्ह मनुज अवतार। सुर रंजन सज्जन सुखद हरि भंजन भुबि भार॥१३९॥
Meaning
In one Kalpa (round of creation) it was for this reason that Lord Śrī Hari assumed a human form. It is His vow to gladden the gods, to delight the virtuous and to ease the earth of its burden. (139)
