Doha 80
अजहूँ मानहु कहा हमारा। हम तुम्ह कहुँ बरु नीक बिचारा॥ अति सुंदर सुचि सुखद सुसीला। गावहिं बेद जासु जस लीला॥१॥
दूषन रहित सकल गुन रासी। श्रीपति पुर बैकुंठ निवासी॥ अस बरु तुम्हहि मिलाउब आनी। सुनत बिहसि कह बचन भवानी॥२॥
सत्य कहेहु गिरिभव तनु एहा। हठ न छूट छूटै बरु देहा॥ कनकउ पुनि पषान तें होई। जारेहुँ सहजु न परिहर सोई॥३॥
नारद बचन न मैं परिहरऊँ। बसउ भवनु उजरउ नहिं डरऊँ॥ गुर कें बचन प्रतीति न जेही। सपनेहुँ सुगम न सुख सिधि तेही॥४॥
Meaning
“Even now heed our advice; we have thought of an excellent match for you— exceptionally good-looking, pious, agreeable and amiable, whose glory and exploits are sung by the Vedas. (1) “He is free from blemish, is a mine of all virtues and the lord of Lakṣmī (the goddess of prosperity) and has His abode in Vaikuṇṭha. Such a suitor we shall unite with you.” Hearing this, Bhavānī laughed and said, (2) “You have rightly observed that this body of mine is begotten of a rock: I would rather die than give up my tenacity. Gold is another product of rock that does not abandon its character (lustre) even on being consigned to fire. (3) “I would not give up Nārada’s advice; whether my house thrives or becomes desolate, I am not afraid. He who has no faith in the words of his preceptor cannot easily attain either happiness or success even in a dream. (4)
महादेव अवगुन भवन बिष्नु सकल गुन धाम। जेहि कर मनु रम जाहि सन तेहि तेही सन काम॥८०॥
Meaning
“The great God Śiva may be full of faults and Viṣṇu may be a repository of all virtues. One is, however, concerned with him alone whom one loves with one’s heart. (80)
