Doha 149
सुनि प्रभु बचन जोरि जुग पानी। धरि धीरजु बोली मृदु बानी॥ नाथ देखि पद कमल तुम्हारे। अब पूरे सब काम हमारे॥१॥
एक लालसा बड़ि उर माहीं। सुगम अगम कहि जाति सो नाहीं॥ तुम्हहि देत अति सुगम गोसाईं। अगम लाग मोहि निज कृपनाईं॥२॥
जथा दरिद्र बिबुधतरु पाई। बहु संपति मागत सकुचाई॥ तासु प्रभाउ जान नहिं सोई। तथा हृदयँ मम संसय होई॥३॥
सो तुम्ह जानहु अंतरजामी। पुरवहु मोर मनोरथ स्वामी॥ सकुच बिहाइ मागु नृप मोही। मोरें नहिं अदेय कछु तोही॥४॥
Meaning
On hearing the words of the Lord, Manu folded his hands and summoning courage spoke in soft accents, “O Lord! Now that we have seen Your lotus feet, all our desires have been fulfilled. (1) “Yet one ardent longing still lingers in my heart. It is easy of accomplishment and at the same time hard to attain; hence it cannot be expressed. O Lord, it is easy for You to grant it; but due to my own diffidence it appears to me so hard to achieve. (2) “Just as a pauper who has found a wish-yielding tree and yet feels shy in asking for abundance of wealth, little realizing its glory, even so, my heart is possessed by doubt. (3) “Being the indweller of all hearts, You know my mind; therefore, O my Lord, grant my desire.” (The Lord said): “O king, ask Me unhesitatingly; there is nothing which I would not give you.” (4)
दानि सिरोमनि कृपानिधि नाथ कहउँ सतिभाउ। चाहउँ तुम्हहि समान सुत प्रभु सन कवन दुराउ॥१४९॥
Meaning
“O crest-jewel of donors, O gracious Lord, I tell You my sincere wish: I wish to have a son like You. What would I conceal from You, my Lord?” (149)
