Doha 189
एक बार भूपति मन माहीं। भै गलानि मोरें सुत नाहीं॥ गुर गृह गयउ तुरत महिपाला। चरन लागि करि बिनय बिसाला॥१॥
निज दुख सुख सब गुरहि सुनायउ। कहि बसिष्ठ बहु बिधि समुझायउ॥ धरहु धीर होइहहिं सुत चारी। त्रिभुवन बिदित भगत भय हारी॥२॥
सृंगी रिषिहि बसिष्ठ बोलावा। पुत्रकाम सुभ जग्य करावा॥ भगति सहित मुनि आहुति दीन्हें। प्रगटे अगिनि चरू कर लीन्हें॥३॥
जो बसिष्ठ कछु हृदयँ बिचारा। सकल काजु भा सिद्ध तुम्हारा॥ यह हबि बाँटि देहु नृप जाई। जथा जोग जेहि भाग बनाई॥४॥
Meaning
One day the king was sad at heart that he had no son. He hastened to his preceptor’s hermitage and falling at his feet made profuse entreaties. (1) He told the Guru all his joys and sorrows; Sage Vasiṣṭha comforted him in many ways and said, “Take heart and wait; you will have four sons, who will be known throughout the three worlds and will relieve the devotees of their fears.” (2) Then Vasiṣṭha summoned sage Śṛṅgī and had a noble sacrifice performed by him for the birth of son to the king. When the sage devoutly offered oblations into the sacred fire, the fire-god appeared with an oblation of porridge (of rice and milk) in his hand. (3) Said the fire-god, “Whatever Vasiṣṭha has contemplated for you that object is fully accomplished. Take this oblation, O king, and distribute it among your Queens in such proportions as you think fit.” (4)
तब अदृस्य भए पावक सकल सभहि समुझाइ। परमानंद मगन नृप हरष न हृदयँ समाइ॥१८९॥
Meaning
The fire-god then disappeared after explaining to the whole assembly (of what was to be done). The king was transported with ecstasy and could hardly contain himself with rapturous joy. (189)
