Doha 18b

चौ०

सुनु सर्बग्य कृपा सुख सिंधो। दीन दयाकर आरत बंधो॥ मरती बेर नाथ मोहि बाली। गयउ तुम्हारेहि कोंछें घाली॥ १ ॥

चौ०

असरन सरन बिरदु संभारी। मोहि जनि तजहु भगत हितकारी॥ मोरें तुम्ह प्रभु गुर पितु माता। जाउँ कहाँ तजि पद जलजाता॥२॥

चौ०

तुम्हहि बिचारि कहहु नरनाहा। प्रभु तजि भवन काज मम काहा॥ बालक ग्यान बुद्धि बल हीना। राखहु सरन नाथ जन दीना॥३॥

चौ०

नीचि टहल गृह कै सब करिहउँ। पद पंकज बिलोकि भव तरिहउँ॥ अस कहि चरन परेउ प्रभु पाही। अब जनि नाथ कहहु गृह जाही॥ ४ ॥

Meaning

“Listen, all-wise, all-merciful and all-blissful Lord, full of compassion to the meek and the befriender of the afflicted: it was in Your charge, my lord, that Bāli, my father, left me while departing from this world. (1) “Therefore, recalling Your vow of affording protection to the forlorn, forsake me not, O benefactor of the devotees. You are my master, preceptor, father and mother, all in one; where can I go, leaving Your lotus-feet? (2) “Ponder Yourself and tell me, O Ruler of men: severed from You, of what use is my home to me? Bestow Your protection on this humble servant, a mere child, bereft of knowledge, reason or strength. (3) “I will do all menial service in your household and shall thus cross the ocean of mundane existence by the mere sight of Your lotus-feet.” So saying, he fell at His feet, adding, “Save me, my lord, and tell me no more, my master, to return home.” (4)

दो०

अंगद बचन बिनीत सुनि रघुपति करुना सींव। प्रभु उठाइ उर लायउ सजल नयन राजीव॥१८ (क)॥

दो०

निज उर माल बसन मनि बालितनय पहिराइ। बिदा कीन्हि भगवान तब बहु प्रकार समुझाइ॥१८ (ख)॥

Meaning

Hearing Aṅgada’s humble entreaty, Lord Śrī Rāma, the epitome of tenderness, raised him and clasped him to His bosom, His lotus eyes streaming with tears. (18 A) Investing Bāli’s son, Aṅgada, with the garland that hung on His own bosom as well as with His own robes and jewels, the Lord then bid him adieu with many words of encouragement. (18 B)
