Doha 113b
सुनु खगेस नहिं कछु रिषि दूषन। उर प्रेरक रघुबंस बिभूषन॥ कृपासिंधु मुनि मति करि भोरी। लीन्ही प्रेम परिच्छा मोरी॥ १॥
मन बच क्रम मोहि निज जन जाना। मुनि मति पुनि फेरी भगवाना॥ रिषि मम महत सीलता देखी। राम चरन बिस्वास बिसेषी॥२॥
अति बिसमय पुनि पुनि पछिताई। सादर मुनि मोहि लीन्ह बोलाई॥ मम परितोष बिबिधि बिधि कीन्हा। हरषित राममंत्र तब दीन्हा॥३॥
बालकरूप राम कर ध्याना। कहेउ मोहि मुनि कृपानिधाना॥ सुंदर सुखद मोहि अति भावा। सो प्रथमहिं मैं तुम्हहि सुनावा॥४॥
मुनि मोहि कछुक काल तहँ राखा। रामचरितमानस तब भाषा॥ सादर मोहि यह कथा सुनाई। पुनि बोले मुनि गिरा सुहाई॥५॥
रामचरित सर गुप्त सुहावा। संभु प्रसाद तात मैं पावा॥ तोहि निज भगत राम कर जानी। ताते मैं सब कहेउँ बखानी॥६॥
राम भगति जिन्ह कें उर नाहीं। कबहुँ न तात कहिअ तिन्ह पाहीं॥ मुनि मोहि बिबिधि भाँति समुझावा। मैं सप्रेम मुनि पद सिरु नावा॥७॥
निज कर कमल परसि मम सीसा। हरषित आसिष दीन्ह मुनीसा॥ राम भगति अबिरल उर तोरें। बसिहि सदा प्रसाद अब मोरें॥८॥
Meaning
“Listen, O Garurḍa, lord of the winged creatures: the sage was in no way at fault; it is Śrī Rāma, the Ornament of Raghu’s race, who prompts all hearts. The All-merciful put my devotion to test by confounding the sage’s reason. (1) “When the Lord realized that I was His devoted servant in thought, word and deed, the Lord disillusioned the mind of the saint again. The sage was amazed at my extraordinary forbearance and the unique faith in Śrī Rāma’s feet and, (2) “repenting again and again, politely called me back. He consoled me in several ways and then gladly imparted to me the formula (मंत्र) sacred to Śrī Rāma. (3) “The gracious sage also taught me how to meditate on Śrī Rāma in the form of a child. The form which I was thus taught to fix my thoughts upon, charming and delightful as it was, pleased me much; I have already told you the same. (4) “The sage detained me in his hermitage for sometime and then recited the ‘Rāmacaritamānasa’ (the Mānasa lake of Śrī Rāma’s exploits). Having reverently related the story, the sage then addressed me in the following gracious words: (5) “I discovered this secret and charming ‘Rāmacaritamānasa’, the lake of Śrī Rāma’s exploits, dear son, by the grace of Lord Śiva. I have come to know that you are a beloved devotee of Śrī Rāma; hence I recited it to you in detail. (6) “Never reveal it, dear child, to those whose heart is void of devotion to Śrī Rāma.” The sage admonished me in various ways and I lovingly bowed my head at his feet.(7) “The great sage touched my head with his lotus palm and gladly gave me his blessing: ‘Henceforth by my grace devotion to Śrī Rāma shall ever abide in your heart in abundance and will not be interrupted at any time. (8)
सदा राम प्रिय होहु तुम्ह सुभ गुन भवन अमान। कामरूप इच्छामरन ग्यान बिराग निधान॥११३ (क)॥
जेहिं आश्रम तुम्ह बसब पुनि सुमिरत श्रीभगवंत। ब्यापिहि तहँ न अबिद्या जोजन एक प्रजंत॥११३ (ख)॥
Meaning
‘You shall ever be a favourite of Śrī Rāma and a repository of good qualities, free from pride, taking any form at your will and choosing your own time for death, and a repository of wisdom and dispassion, (113 A) ‘nay, in whatever hermitage you live with your thought fixed on the Lord, delusion will have no access within a radius of eight miles from it.
