Doha 67
कह मुनि बिहसि गूढ़ मृदु बानी। सुता तुम्हारि सकल गुन खानी॥ सुंदर सहज सुसील सयानी। नाम उमा अंबिका भवानी॥१॥
सब लच्छन संपन्न कुमारी। होइहि संतत पियहि पिआरी॥ सदा अचल एहि कर अहिवाता। एहि तें जसु पैहहिं पितु माता॥२॥
होइहि पूज्य सकल जग माहीं। एहि सेवत कछु दुर्लभ नाहीं॥ एहि कर नामु सुमिरि संसारा। त्रिय चढ़िहहिं पतिब्रत असिधारा॥३॥
सैल सुलच्छन सुता तुम्हारी। सुनहु जे अब अवगुन दुइ चारी॥ अगुन अमान मातु पितु हीना। उदासीन सब संसय छीना॥४॥

Lacking in qualities as well as self-esteem, without father or mother, unconcerned and free from care, (4)
जोगी जटिल अकाम मन नगन अमंगल बेष। अस स्वामी एहि कहँ मिलिहि परी हस्त असि रेख॥६७॥
Meaning
“an ascetic with matted hair and a heart devoid of longing, naked and with unseemly accoutrements–such a one shall be her lord, as I can read from the lines on her palm.” (67)
