Doha 141
अपर हेतु सुनु सैलकुमारी। कहउँ बिचित्र कथा बिस्तारी॥ जेहि कारन अज अगुन अरूपा। ब्रह्म भयउ कोसलपुर भूपा॥१॥
जो प्रभु बिपिन फिरत तुम्ह देखा। बंधु समेत धरें मुनिबेषा॥ जासु चरित अवलोकि भवानी। सती सरीर रहिहु बौरानी॥२॥
अजहुँ न छाया मिटति तुम्हारी। तासु चरित सुनु भ्रम रुज हारी॥ लीला कीन्हि जो तेहिं अवतारा। सो सब कहिहउँ मति अनुसारा॥३॥
भरद्वाज सुनि संकर बानी। सकुचि सप्रेम उमा मुसुकानी॥ लगे बहुरि बरनै बृषकेतू। सो अवतार भयउ जेहि हेतू॥४॥
Meaning
“Hear, O Girirājakumārī, another reason why the birthless, Absolute and formless Brahma became king of Ayodhyā; I shall relate at length the marvellous story relating to it. (1) “The Lord whom you saw roaming in the forest with His brother Lakṣmaṇa in the garb of hermits, and whose doings baffled you when you were in the form of Satī to such an extent that— (2) “the shadow of that perplexity still lingers in your mind—hear His exploits, which serve as a cure for the malady of delusion. The sportive deeds (Līlā) that were performed by the Lord in that birth, I shall relate them all to the best of My ability.” (3) Hearing Śaṅkara’s words, O Bharadvāja, Pārvatī blushed and lovingly smiled. Śiva then began to relate the cause of the Lord’s descent on that particular occasion. (4)
सो मैं तुम्ह सन कहउँ सबु सुनु मुनीस मन लाइ। राम कथा कलि मल हरनि मंगल करनि सुहाइ॥१४१॥
Meaning
“I proceed to tell you all about it, O Bharadvāja, listen attentively. The story of Śrī Rāma wipes out all the impurities of the Kali age, brings forth all blessings and is most charming. (141)
