Doha 3

चौ०

जदपि नाथ बहु अवगुन मोरें। सेवक प्रभुहि परै जनि भोरें॥ नाथ जीव तव मायाँ मोहा। सो निस्तरइ तुम्हारेहिं छोहा॥१॥

चौ०

ता पर मैं रघुबीर दोहाई। जानउँ नहिं कछु भजन उपाई॥ सेवक सुत पति मातु भरोसें। रहइ असोच बनइ प्रभु पोसें॥२॥

चौ०

अस कहि परेउ चरन अकुलाई। निज तनु प्रगटि प्रीति उर छाई॥ तब रघुपति उठाइ उर लावा। निज लोचन जल सींचि जुड़ावा॥३॥

चौ०

सुनु कपि जियँ मानसि जनि ऊना। तैं मम प्रिय लछिमन ते दूना॥ समदरसी मोहि कह सब कोऊ। सेवक प्रिय अनन्यगति सोऊ॥४॥

Meaning

“Although, my lord, I have many faults, let not the master put out of his mind the servant, i.e., You may not forget him. The Jīva (ego), O Lord, is deluded by Your Māyā and can be redeemed only by Your grace. (1) “On top of it, I swear by Śrī Raghuvīra, I know neither adoration nor any other means (of pleasing You). A servant depends on his master and a child on its mother and both thus remain free from anxiety; the Lord need must take care of His servant.” (2) So saying, Hanumān fell at the Lord’s feet, being very much emotional; his heart was overwhelmed with love and he manifested his own (monkey) form. Śrī Raghunātha then lifted and clasped him to His bosom and soothed him by moistening him with the tears of His eyes. (3) “Listen, O Hanumān, be not depressed at heart; you are twice dear to Me than even Lakṣmaṇa. Everyone says that I look upon all with equanimity; but a devotee is particularly dear to Me because he depends on Me and none else. (4)

दो०

सो अनन्य जाकें असि मति न टरइ हनुमंत। मैं सेवक सचराचर रूप स्वामि भगवंत॥३॥

Meaning

“And he alone, Hanumān, is exclusively devoted to Me, who is steadfast in his conviction that he is the servant and that the whole world, both animate and inanimate creation, is the manifestation of the Lord, his master.” (3)
