Doha 57b

चौ०

तब संकर प्रभु पद सिरु नावा। सुमिरत रामु हृदयँ अस आवा॥ एहिं तन सतिहि भेट मोहि नाहीं। सिव संकल्पु कीन्ह मन माहीं॥१॥

चौ०

अस बिचारि संकरु मतिधीरा। चले भवन सुमिरत रघुबीरा॥ चलत गगन भै गिरा सुहाई। जय महेस भलि भगति दृढ़ाई॥२॥

चौ०

अस पन तुम्ह बिनु करइ को आना। रामभगत समरथ भगवाना॥ सुनि नभगिरा सती उर सोचा। पूछा सिवहि समेत सकोचा॥३॥

चौ०

कीन्ह कवन पन कहहु कृपाला। सत्यधाम प्रभु दीनदयाला॥ जदपि सतीं पूछा बहु भाँती। तदपि न कहेउ त्रिपुर आराती॥४॥

Meaning

Then Śiva bowed His head at the feet of Lord Śrī Rāma; and as soon as He invoked Śrī Rāma the idea came to His mind that He should have no relation with Satī as husband and wife so long as she was in that body. Śiva resolved accordingly, (1) and having so resolved the stable-minded Lord Śaṅkara proceeded towards His abode, Mount Kailāsa, with His mind fixed on Śrī Raghunātha. Even as He moved forward a charming celestial voice from heaven was heard: “Glory to the great Lord Śiva, who has so staunchly upheld the cause of Devotion. (2) “Who else, other than You, could take such a vow? You are a devotee of Śrī Rāma as also the all-powerful Lord at the same time.” Satī felt troubled at heart when She heard the heavenly voice. She addressed Śiva in a faltering voice: (3) “Tell me, O merciful Lord! what vow have You taken? You are an embodiment of Truth and compassionate to the afflicted.” Even though Satī enquired in ways more than one, the Slayer of the demon Tripura, Śiva, spoke not a word. (4)

दो०

सतीं हृदयँ अनुमान किय सबु जानेउ सर्बग्य। कीन्ह कपटु मैं संभु सन नारि सहज जड़ अग्य॥५७ (क)॥

सो०

जलु पय सरिस बिकाइ देखहु प्रीति कि रीति भलि। बिलग होइ रसु जाइ कपट खटाई परत पुनि॥५७ (ख)॥

Meaning

Satī concluded that the omniscient Lord had come to know everything; I had tried to deceive Śiva; woman is silly and senseless by nature, She realized. (57A) Even water when mixed with milk sells as milk; look at the unifying process of love. The water, however, is separated from the milk and the taste also disappears the moment lemon is added into it in the form of falsehood. (57B)
