# Bal Kand · Doha 200

**चौ०** 
> एहि बिधि राम जगत पितु माता। कोसलपुर बासिन्ह सुखदाता॥  
> जिन्ह रघुनाथ चरन रति मानी। तिन्ह की यह गति प्रगट भवानी॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> रघुपति बिमुख जतन कर कोरी। कवन सकइ भव बंधन छोरी॥  
> जीव चराचर बस कै राखे। सो माया प्रभु सों भय भाखे॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> भृकुटि बिलास नचावइ ताही। अस प्रभु छाड़ि भजिअ कहु काही॥  
> मन क्रम बचन छाड़ि चतुराई। भजत कृपा करिहहिं रघुराई॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> एहि बिधि सिसुबिनोद प्रभु कीन्हा। सकल नगरबासिन्ह सुख दीन्हा॥  
> लै उछंग कबहुँक हलरावै। कबहुँ पालनें घालि झुलावै॥४॥

Meaning: In this way Śrī Rāma, the father and mother of the universe, delighted the people of Ayodhyā. “Bhavānī, this demonstrates how those who have conceived devotion to the feet of Śrī Rāma are amply rewarded by Him.” (1)

On the other hand, no one can liberate from the bondage of worldly existence him who is averse to Śrī Raghunātha, however much he may struggle. Even that ‘Māyā’ which has held under her sway all living beings, both animate and inanimate, is frightened of the Lord, (2)

who makes her dance to the play of His eye-brows. Leaving such a lord, tell me, whom should we adore? Śrī Raghunātha will be compassionate to those who betake themselves to Him in thought, word and deed, giving up all cleverness. (3)

In this way the Lord sported as a child to the delight of all the people of the city. The mother would now dandle Him in her arms and now put Him down and rock Him in the cradle. (4)

**दो०** 
> प्रेम मगन कौसल्या निसि दिन जात न जान।  
> सुत सनेह बस माता बालचरित कर गान॥२००॥

Meaning: Kausalyā remained so rapt in love that days and nights passed unnoticed. Out of affection for her son she would sing lays of His childhood. (200)
