Doha 51
बिष्नु जो सुर हित नरतनु धारी। सोउ सर्बग्य जथा त्रिपुरारी॥ खोजइ सो कि अग्य इव नारी। ग्यानधाम श्रीपति असुरारी॥१॥
संभुगिरा पुनि मृषा न होई। सिव सर्बग्य जान सबु कोई॥ अस संसय मन भयउ अपारा। होइ न हृदयँ प्रबोध प्रचारा॥२॥
जद्यपि प्रगट न कहेउ भवानी। हर अंतरजामी सब जानी॥ सुनहि सती तव नारि सुभाऊ। संसय अस न धरिअ उर काऊ॥३॥
जासु कथा कुंभज रिषि गाई। भगति जासु मैं मुनिहि सुनाई॥ सोइ मम इष्टदेव रघुबीरा। सेवत जाहि सदा मुनि धीरा॥४॥
Meaning
‘Even Viṣṇu, Who takes a human form for the sake of gods, is omniscient like the Slayer of Tripura, Śiva. Can He wander in search of His Consort like an ignorant man— He who is a repository of knowledge, the lord of Śrī (the goddess of prosperity) and the slayer of demons? (1) ‘The words of Śiva, too, cannot be untrue. Everyone knows that He is all-knowing.’ Thus Her mind was filled with an interminable series of doubts; Her heart could not be pacified by any means. (2) Although Bhavānī did not say anything openly, Lord Hara, who is the inner dweller of all, came to know everything. “Look here, Satī, the womanly traits are foremost in you; you should never harbour such a doubt in your mind. (3) “He is no other than Śrī Raghuvīra, My beloved Deity (Iṣṭa), whose narrative was sung by sage Agastya, devotion in whom was the subject of the talk I gave to him and whom illumined sages ever wait upon. (4)
मुनि धीर जोगी सिद्ध संतत बिमल मन जेहि ध्यावहीं। कहि नेति निगम पुरान आगम जासु कीरति गावहीं॥ सोइ रामु ब्यापक ब्रह्म भुवन निकाय पति माया धनी। अवतरेउ अपने भगत हित निजतंत्र नित रघुकुलमनी॥
Meaning
“He who has bodied Himself forth as Lord Śrī Rāma for the sake of His devotees is no other than the Supreme Eternal, who is all-pervading and ever free, who is the Ruler of all the worlds and the Lord of Māyā, whom illumined sages, Yogīs (mystics) and Siddhas (adepts) constantly meditate upon with their sinless mind and whose glory is sung by the Vedas as well as the Purāṇas and other scriptures in terms as ‘not this’, ‘not this’.”
लाग न उर उपदेसु जदपि कहेउ सिवँ बार बहु। बोले बिहसि महेसु हरिमाया बलु जानि जियँ॥५१॥
Meaning
Although Lord Śiva repeated this time and again, His exhortations made no impact on the mind of Satī. Then the great Lord Śiva smilingly said, realizing in His heart the potency of Śrī Hari’s Māyā: (51)
