Doha 16
बिसरे गृह सपनेहुँ सुधि नाहीं। जिमि परद्रोह संत मन माहीं॥ तब रघुपति सब सखा बोलाए। आइ सबन्हि सादर सिरु नाए॥१॥
परम प्रीति समीप बैठारे। भगत सुखद मृदु बचन उचारे॥ तुम्ह अति कीन्हि मोरि सेवकाई। मुख पर केहि बिधि करौं बड़ाई॥२॥
ताते मोहि तुम्ह अति प्रिय लागे। मम हित लागि भवन सुख त्यागे॥ अनुज राज संपति बैदेही। देह गेह परिवार सनेही॥३॥
सब मम प्रिय नहिं तुम्हहि समाना। मृषा न कहउँ मोर यह बाना॥ सब कें प्रिय सेवक यह नीती। मोरें अधिक दास पर प्रीती॥४॥
Meaning
They had forgotten their homes so completely that they never thought of them even in a dream any more than a saint would harbour ill-will towards anyone. Śrī Raghunātha then called all His comrades; all came and bowed their heads with reverence. (1) Most lovingly He seated them by His side and addressed them in tender words, which were the delight of devotees: “You have rendered unstinted service to Me; yet how can I praise you to your face? (2) “You abandoned your homes and comforts on My account; hence you have endeared yourselves most to Me. My younger brothers, My Kingdom, My riches, Sītā (My spouse), My life, My home, My near and dear ones, (3) “are all dear to Me, but none so dear as you; I tell you no untruth—I simply reveal My nature to you. Every master, as a rule, loves his servant; but I, for one, am exceptionally fond of My servants. (4)
अब गृह जाहु सखा सब भजेहु मोहि दृढ़ नेम। सदा सर्बगत सर्बहित जानि करेहु अति प्रेम॥१६॥
Meaning
“Now, My comrades, return to your homes all of you, and, worship Me with steadfast regularity. Knowing Me always as omnipresent and friendly to all, love Me most dearly.” (16)
