Doha 37
जेहिं जलनाथ बँधायउ हेला। उतरे प्रभु दल सहित सुबेला॥ कारुनीक दिनकर कुल केतू। दूत पठायउ तव हित हेतू॥१॥
सभा माझ जेहिं तव बल मथा। करि बरूथ महुँ मृगपति जथा॥ अंगद हनुमत अनुचर जाके। रन बाँकुरे बीर अति बाँके॥२॥
तेहि कहँ पिय पुनि पुनि नर कहहू। मुधा मान ममता मद बहहू॥ अहह कंत कृत राम बिरोधा। काल बिबस मन उपज न बोधा॥३॥
काल दंड गहि काहु न मारा। हरइ धर्म बल बुद्धि बिचारा॥ निकट काल जेहि आवत साईं। तेहि भ्रम होइ तुम्हारिहि नाईं॥४॥
Meaning
“He who had the ocean bridged as a mere sport and has encamped with His army on Mount Suvela, the same merciful Lord, the glory of the solar race, sent to you in your own interest an envoy, who (1) “like a lion in the midst of a herd of elephants trampled on your might in open court. Nay, He has for His servants most formidable warriors like Aṅgada and Hanumān, who are so dauntless in battle, and still, (2) “my beloved lord, you speak of Him again and again as a mortal! In vain do you carry on your head the burden of pride, attachment and arrogance. Ah, my lord, you have turned hostile to Śrī Rāma and, overtaken as you are by death, the light of wisdom does not dawn on your mind. (3) “Death does not smite anyone with uplifted rod; he simply robs the victim of his piety, strength, reason and judgment. He alone whom death has approached very near falls a prey to delusion like you. (4)
दुइ सुत मरे दहेउ पुर अजहुँ पूर पिय देहु। कृपासिंधु रघुनाथ भजि नाथ बिमल जसु लेहु॥३७॥
Meaning
“Two of your sons have been slain and your capital has been burnt down; retrace your step even now, my beloved. Adore the All-merciful, Śrī Raghunātha, and win unsullied fame thereby.” (37)
