# Bal Kand · Doha 146

**चौ०** 
> सुनु सेवक सुरतरु सुरधेनू। बिधि हरि हर बंदित पद रेनू॥  
> सेवत सुलभ सकल सुखदायक। प्रनतपाल सचराचर नायक॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> जौं अनाथ हित हम पर नेहू। तौ प्रसन्न होइ यह बर देहू॥  
> जो सरूप बस सिव मन माहीं। जेहि कारन मुनि जतन कराहीं॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> जो भुसुंडि मन मानस हंसा। सगुन अगुन जेहि निगम प्रसंसा॥  
> देखहिं हम सो रूप भरि लोचन। कृपा करहु प्रनतारति मोचन॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> दंपति बचन परम प्रिय लागे। मृदुल बिनीत प्रेम रस पागे॥  
> भगत बछल प्रभु कृपानिधाना। बिस्वबास प्रगटे भगवाना॥४॥

Meaning: “Listen, O Lord ! You are a wish-yielding tree and the cow of plenty to Your servants. The dust of Your feet is adored by Brahmā, Hari and Śiva. You are easy to serve and a fountain of all blessings. You are the protector of the suppliant and the lord of all creation, both animate and inanimate. (1)

“O friend of the forlorn, if You have affection for us, be pleased to grant this boon to us: the form which dwells in Śiva’s heart and is sought by sages, (2)

“which sports like a swan in the lake of Kākabhuśuṇḍi’s mind and is glorified by the Vedas as both with and without attributes (Saguṇa and Nirguṇa)—be gracious to us and let us feast our eyes on that form; O Reliever of the distress of the suppliant.” (3)

The soft and humble words of the royal couple, steeped as they were in the nectar of love, were liked by the Lord very much. Full of affection for His devotees and a repository of compassion, the all-powerful Lord, who pervades the entire universe, manifested Himself. (4)

**दो०** 
> नील सरोरुह नील मनि नील नीरधर स्याम।  
> लाजहिं तन सोभा निरखि कोटि कोटि सत काम॥१४६॥

Meaning: Billions of Kāmadeva would blush to behold the beauty of His swarthy form, which resembled a blue lotus (in the softness of its touch), a sapphire (in its gloss) and a dark cloud (in its freshness). (146)
