# Uttar Kand · Doha 58

**चौ०** 
> गिरिजा कहेउँ सो सब इतिहासा। मैं जेहि समय गयउँ खग पासा॥  
> अब सो कथा सुनहु जेहि हेतू। गयउ काग पहिं खग कुल केतू॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> जब रघुनाथ कीन्हि रन क्रीड़ा। समुझत चरित होति मोहि ब्रीड़ा॥  
> इंद्रजीत कर आपु बँधायो। तब नारद मुनि गरुड़ पठायो॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> बंधन काटि गयो उरगादा। उपजा हृदयँ प्रचंड बिषादा॥  
> प्रभु बंधन समुझत बहु भाँती। करत बिचार उरग आराती॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> ब्यापक ब्रह्म बिरज बागीसा। माया मोह पार परमीसा॥  
> सो अवतार सुनेउँ जग माहीं। देखेउँ सो प्रभाव कछु नाहीं॥४॥

Meaning: “Girijā, I have thus narrated the whole episode as to when I visited the bird, Kākabhuśuṇḍi. Now hear the circumstances under which Garuḍa, the celebrity of the feathered kingdom, called on the crow. (1)

“When Śrī Raghunātha enacted the sport of a combat (with Meghanāda, Rāvaṇa’s son)—the very thought of which fills me with bashfulness—and allowed Himself to be bound by Meghanāda, sage Nārada sent Garuḍa. (2)

“When Garuḍa (the devourer of serpents) had cut the bonds and departed, a great agitation gripped his mind. Recalling the Lord’s bondage, Garuḍa, the enemy of the serpents, thought over the incident in many ways: (3)

“It was the all-pervading and passionless Brahma, the lord of speech, the supreme Ruler beyond Māyā and delusion, who had, I was told, taken descent in this world. But I saw none of His divine glory there. (4)

**दो०** 
> भव बंधन ते छूटहिं नर जपि जा कर नाम।  
> खर्ब निसाचर बाँधेउ नागपास सोइ राम॥५८॥

Meaning: “The same Rāma, by repeating whose Name men get freedom from the bonds of worldly existence, was tied down by a puny demon with coils of snakes! (58)
