Doha 46
अस बिचारि प्रगटउँ निज मोहू। हरहु नाथ करि जन पर छोहू॥ राम नाम कर अमित प्रभावा। संत पुरान उपनिषद गावा॥१॥
संतत जपत संभु अबिनासी। सिव भगवान ग्यान गुन रासी॥ आकर चारि जीव जग अहहीं। कासीं मरत परम पद लहहीं॥२॥
सोपि राम महिमा मुनिराया। सिव उपदेसु करत करि दाया॥ रामु कवन प्रभु पूछउँ तोही। कहिअ बुझाइ कृपानिधि मोही॥३॥
एक राम अवधेस कुमारा। तिन्ह कर चरित बिदित संसारा॥ नारि बिरहँ दुखु लहेउ अपारा। भयउ रोषु रन रावनु मारा॥४॥
Meaning
“Remembering this I disclose my delusion; dispel it, taking pity on this servant, my lord! The saints as well as the Purāṇas and the Upaniṣads too declare that the potency of the name ‘Rāma’ is unlimited. (1) “The immortal Lord Śiva, who is the fountain of qualities (Guṇas) and a repository of wisdom, incessantly repeats It. There are four broad divisions of living beings in the world; such of them as die in the holy city of Kāśī (Vārāṇasī) attain the highest state. (2) “This too marks the glory of Śrī Rāma’s Name, O chief of sages; for it is this very Name that Lord Śiva mercifully imparts to the dying Jīva in Kāśī. I beseech you, my lord, who that ‘Rāma’ is? Pray! explain it to me, O repository of compassion. (3) “One such Rāma is the prince of Ayodhyā whose exploits are known throughout the world. Infinite was his desolation due to the abduction of his wife; and flying into a rage he killed Rāvaṇa in battle. (4)
प्रभु सोइ राम कि अपर कोउ जाहि जपत त्रिपुरारि। सत्यधाम सर्बग्य तुम्ह कहहु बिबेकु बिचारि॥४६॥
Meaning
“Is it this very Rāma, my lord, or someone else whose name Śiva ever repeats? You are an embodiment of truth and omniscient; so ponder well and enlighten me with your exposition. (46)
