Doha 59
Glory of hymning Śrī Rāma’s glories
सभय सिंधु गहि पद प्रभु केरे। छमहु नाथ सब अवगुन मेरे॥ गगन समीर अनल जल धरनी। इन्ह कइ नाथ सहज जड़ करनी॥१॥
तव प्रेरित मायाँ उपजाए। सृष्टि हेतु सब ग्रंथनि गाए॥ प्रभु आयसु जेहि कहँ जस अहई। सो तेहि भाँति रहें सुख लहई॥२॥
प्रभु भल कीन्ह मोहि सिख दीन्ही। मरजादा पुनि तुम्हरी कीन्ही॥ ढोल गवाँर सूद्र पसु नारी। सकल ताड़ना के अधिकारी॥३॥
प्रभु प्रताप मैं जाब सुखाई। उतरिहि कटकु न मोरि बड़ाई॥ प्रभु अग्या अपेल श्रुति गाई। करौं सो बेगि जो तुम्हहि सोहाई॥४॥
Meaning
The god presiding over the ocean clasped the Lord’s feet in dismay. “Forgive, my lord, all my faults. Ether, air, fire, water and earth—all these, my lord, are dull by nature; (1) “it is Māyā (Cosmic Nature) which brought them forth for the purpose of creation under an impulse from You; so declare all the scriptures. One would attain happiness in life only by remaining where he has been placed by the Lord. (2) “My lord has done well in giving me a lesson; but You have fixed certain limits for everyone. A drum, a rustic, a Śūdra, a beast and a woman—all these deserve caring and needful mending. (3) “By the Lord’s majesty I shall be dried up and the army will cross over: but this will bring no honour to me. Your command, however, is inviolable: thus declare the Vedas. I shall do at once what pleases You.” (4)
सुनत बिनीत बचन अति कह कृपाल मुसुकाइ। जेहि बिधि उतरै कपि कटकु तात सो कहहु उपाइ॥५९॥
Meaning
On hearing his most submissive words the all-merciful smiled and said, “Tell me, dear one, some device whereby the monkey host may cross over.” (59)
