Doha 201
एक बार जननीं अन्हवाए। करि सिंगार पलनाँ पौढ़ाए॥ निज कुल इष्टदेव भगवाना। पूजा हेतु कीन्ह अस्नाना॥१॥
करि पूजा नैबेद्य चढ़ावा। आपु गई जहँ पाक बनावा॥ बहुरि मातु तहवाँ चलि आई। भोजन करत देख सुत जाई॥२॥
गै जननी सिसु पहिं भयभीता। देखा बाल तहाँ पुनि सूता॥ बहुरि आइ देखा सुत सोई। हृदयँ कंप मन धीर न होई॥३॥
इहाँ उहाँ दुइ बालक देखा। मतिभ्रम मोर कि आन बिसेषा॥ देखि राम जननी अकुलानी। प्रभु हँसि दीन्ह मधुर मुसुकानी॥४॥
Meaning
One day mother Kausalyā bathed and adorned her child, Śrī Rāma, and put Him to sleep in the cradle. Thereafter she bathed herself in order to worship the patron deity of her family. (1) Having worshipped the deity she offered Him the sacramental food and then returned to the kitchen. When she came back to the place of worship, she beheld her boy eating the consecrated food that had been offered to the Lord. (2) Frightened at this, the mother went to her boy and found Him asleep in the cradle. Coming back once more to the shrine she still saw the boy there. She now trembled with fear and her mind found no rest. (3) She saw two boys, one in the shrine and the other in the cradle. She said to herself, ‘Is it my mental illusion or some other unusual phenomenon?’ When Śrī Rāma saw His mother perplexed, the Lord gently smiled. (4)
देखरावा मातहि निज अद्भुत रूप अखंड। रोम रोम प्रति लागे कोटि कोटि ब्रह्मंड॥२०१॥
Meaning
The Lord then revealed to His mother His marvellous infinite form, every pore of whose skin contained millions of universes. (201)
