Doha 69
तदपि एक मैं कहउँ उपाई। होइ करै जौं दैउ सहाई॥ जस बरु मैं बरनेउँ तुम्ह पाहीं। मिलिहि उमहि तस संसय नाहीं॥१॥
जे जे बर के दोष बखाने। ते सब सिव पहिं मैं अनुमाने॥ जौं बिबाहु संकर सन होई। दोषउ गुन सम कह सबु कोई॥२॥
जौं अहि सेज सयन हरि करहीं। बुध कछु तिन्ह कर दोषु न धरहीं॥ भानु कृसानु सर्ब रस खाहीं। तिन्ह कहँ मंद कहत कोउ नाहीं॥३॥
सुभ अरु असुभ सलिल सब बहई। सुरसरि कोउ अपुनीत न कहई॥ समरथ कहुँ नहिं दोषु गोसाईं। रबि पावक सुरसरि की नाईं॥४॥
Meaning
“Nevertheless I tell you one solution: this may avail if Providence helps you. Umā will undoubtedly get such a husband as I have described to you. (1) “But whatever seeming shortcomings I have stated in her bridegroom, exist in Śiva, so far as I can see. If her marriage takes place with Śaṅkara, everyone will call the demerits as good as virtues. (2) “Even though Śrī Hari uses the serpent-god Śeṣa as His couch and reposes thereon, the wise do not find fault with Him for the same. Even so, the sun and fire absorb moisture in all forms and all kinds of things, respectively, but no one blames them. (3) “Again, water of every description, pure as well as impure, flows into the Gaṅgā; yet no one calls the heavenly stream impure. Even so, like the sun, fire and the Gaṅgā, the mighty incur no blame. (4)
जौं अस हिसिषा करहिं नर जड़ बिबेक अभिमान। परहिं कलप भरि नरक महुँ जीव कि ईस समान॥६९॥
Meaning
“If in their pride of wisdom foolish men emulate the great, they are cast into hell for a whole Kalpa or life-time of the universe. Can an embodied soul vie with God? (69)
