Doha 50
Satī’s bewilderment, Śrī Rāma’s divine glory and Satī’s remorse
संभु समय तेहि रामहि देखा। उपजा हियँ अति हरषु बिसेषा॥ भरि लोचन छबिसिंधु निहारी। कुसमय जानि न कीन्हि चिन्हारी॥१॥
जय सच्चिदानंद जग पावन। अस कहि चलेउ मनोज नसावन॥ चले जात सिव सती समेता। पुनि पुनि पुलकत कृपानिकेता॥२॥
सतीं सो दसा संभु कै देखी। उर उपजा संदेहु बिसेषी॥ संकरु जगतबंद्य जगदीसा। सुर नर मुनि सब नावत सीसा॥३॥
तिन्ह नृपसुतहि कीन्ह परनामा। कहि सच्चिदानंद परधामा॥ भए मगन छबि तासु बिलोकी। अजहुँ प्रीति उर रहति न रोकी॥४॥
Meaning
On that very occasion Śiva saw Śrī Rāma and supreme joy of an extraordinary nature welled up in His heart. He feasted His eyes on that Ocean of Beauty, Śrī Rāma; but He did not disclose His identity as He knew it was not an opportune time for the same. (1) Śiva, passed on exclaiming “Glory to the Redeemer of the universe, who is all Truth, Consciousness and Bliss !” The all-merciful, Lord Śiva, was repeatedly thrilled with joy as He went on His way with Satī. (2) When Satī beheld Śaṅkara in this state, a grave doubt arose in Her mind: ‘Śaṅkara is Lord of the universe Himself, and is adored by the entire universe; gods, men and sages all bow their head to Him. (3) ‘Yet He made obeisance to this prince, referring to him as the Supreme Being, who is all Truth, Consciousness and Bliss. He was enraptured to behold his beauty and felt an upsurge of emotion in His heart, which He was unable to control even till this moment! (4)
ब्रह्म जो ब्यापक बिरज अज अकल अनीह अभेद। सो कि देह धरि होइ नर जाहि न जानत बेद॥५०॥
Meaning
‘The Supreme Eternal, who is all-pervading, unbegotten, without parts, free from desire, beyond Māyā and beyond all distinction and which not even the Vedas can comprehend— can It embody as a man? (50)
