# Bal Kand · Doha 52

**चौ०** 
> जौं तुम्हरें मन अति संदेहू। तौ किन जाइ परीछा लेहू॥  
> तब लगि बैठ अहउँ बटछाहीं। जब लगि तुम्ह ऐहहु मोहि पाहीं॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> जैसें जाइ मोह भ्रम भारी। करेहु सो जतनु बिबेक बिचारी॥  
> चलीं सती सिव आयसु पाई। करहिं बिचारु करौं का भाई॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> इहाँ संभु अस मन अनुमाना। दच्छसुता कहुँ नहिं कल्याना॥  
> मोरेहु कहें न संसय जाहीं। बिधि बिपरीत भलाई नाहीं॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> होइहि सोइ जो राम रचि राखा। को करि तर्क बढ़ावै साखा॥  
> अस कहि लगे जपन हरिनामा। गईं सती जहँ प्रभु सुखधामा॥४॥

Meaning: “If you have a grave doubt in your mind, why not go and verify the fact yourself? I shall wait in the shade of this banyan tree till you come back to Me. (1)

“Using your dispassionate judgment you should resort to some device whereby the stupefying doubt born of your ignorance may be rectified.” Thus obtaining leave of Śiva, Satī set forth; She racked Her brains to decide what device She should adopt in order to test the divinity of Śrī Rāma. (2)

On this side, Śiva did not perceive the welfare of Dakṣa’s daughter, Satī. ‘When her doubt did not yield even to My exhortations,’ He said to Himself, ‘it seems the stars are unpropitious to her and the result will not be good. (3)

‘After all, whatever Śrī Rāma has willed must come to pass; why should one add to the complication by indulging in further speculation?’ So saying, Lord Śiva began to repeat the name of Śrī Hari; while Satī proceeded to the spot where the all-blissful Lord Śrī Rāma was. (4)

**दो०** 
> पुनि पुनि हृदयँ बिचारु करि धरि सीता कर रूप।  
> आगें होइ चलि पंथ तेहिं जेहिं आवत नरभूप॥५२॥

Meaning: After many an anxious thought Satī assumed the form of Sītā and moved ahead on the same route along which the Ruler of men, Śrī Rāma, was coming. (52)
