# Bal Kand · Doha 169

**चौ०** 
> एहि बिधि भूप कष्ट अति थोरें। होइहहिं सकल बिप्र बस तोरें॥  
> करिहहिं बिप्र होम मख सेवा। तेहिं प्रसंग सहजेहिं बस देवा॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> और एक तोहि कहउँ लखाऊ। मैं एहि बेष न आउब काऊ॥  
> तुम्हरे उपरोहित कहुँ राया। हरि आनब मैं करि निज माया॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> तपबल तेहि करि आपु समाना। रखिहउँ इहाँ बरष परवाना॥  
> मैं धरि तासु बेषु सुनु राजा। सब बिधि तोर सँवारब काजा॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> गै निसि बहुत सयन अब कीजे। मोहि तोहि भूप भेंट दिन तीजे॥  
> मैं तपबल तोहि तुरग समेता। पहुँचैहउँ सोवतहि निकेता॥४॥

Meaning: “In this way, O king, with little exertion all the Brāhmaṇas shall be subjected to your will. The Brāhmaṇas in their turn will offer oblations into the sacred fire, perform big sacrifices and practise adoration; and through that device the gods too shall be easily won over. (1)

“I give you one more sign. I will never come in this form. By my delusive power, O king, I will carry off your family priest. (2)

“And, making him just like myself by dint of my penance, will keep him here for the year; while I, O king, will take his form and manage everything for you. (3)

“The night is far gone, so you better retire now; on the third day we will meet again. By my mystic power I will convey you home, both you and your horse, even while you are asleep. (4)

**दो०** 
> मैं आउब सोइ बेषु धरि पहिचानेहु तब मोहि।  
> जब एकांत बोलाइ सब कथा सुनावौं तोहि॥१६९॥

Meaning: “I will come in the form I have told you, and you will recognize me when I call you aside and remind you of all this.” (169).
