Doha 206
यह सब चरित कहा मैं गाई। आगिलि कथा सुनहु मन लाई॥ बिस्वामित्र महामुनि ग्यानी। बसहिं बिपिन सुभ आश्रम जानी॥१॥
जहँ जप जग्य जोग मुनि करहीं। अति मारीच सुबाहुहि डरहीं॥ देखत जग्य निसाचर धावहिं। करहिं उपद्रव मुनि दुख पावहिं॥२॥
गाधितनय मन चिंता ब्यापी। हरि बिनु मरहिं न निसिचर पापी॥ तब मुनिबर मन कीन्ह बिचारा। प्रभु अवतरेउ हरन महि भारा॥३॥
एहूँ मिस देखौं पद जाई। करि बिनती आनौं दोउ भाई॥ ग्यान बिराग सकल गुन अयना। सो प्रभु मैं देखब भरि नयना॥४॥
Meaning
All this story has been sung by me; now hear attentively what followed. The great enlightened hermit Viśvāmitra lived in forest knowing it to be a sacred spot. (1) There he practised Japa (muttering of sacred formulas) and Yoga (contemplation) and performed Yajña (sacrifices); but he was much scared of the demons Mārīca and Subāhu. For as soon as they saw a sacrifice, they would hasten to desecrate it to the great chagrin of the sage, (2) who felt disturbed in his mind and thought that the wicked Rākṣasas could not be disposed of without Śrī Hari. The great sage then said to himself, “The Lord’s advent has already taken place to relieve the earth of its burden. (3) ‘Let me make the outrage of the demons an excuse of seeing His feet and after due entreaty bring the two brothers here. I will regale my eyes with the sight of Him who is the abode of knowledge, dispassion and all virtues.’ (4)
बहुबिधि करत मनोरथ जात लागि नहिं बार। करि मज्जन सरऊ जल गए भूप दरबार॥२०६॥
Meaning
Indulging in expectations of various kinds the sage took no time in reaching his destination. Bathing in the stream of the Sarayū, he proceeded to the royal court. (206)
