# Uttar Kand · Doha 59

**चौ०** 
> नाना भाँति मनहि समुझावा। प्रगट न ग्यान हृदयँ भ्रम छावा॥  
> खेद खिन्न मन तर्क बढ़ाई। भयउ मोहबस तुम्हरिहिं नाई॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> ब्याकुल गयउ देवरिषि पाहीं। कहेसि जो संसय निज मन माहीं॥  
> सुनि नारदहि लागि अति दाया। सुनु खग प्रबल राम कै माया॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> जो ग्यानिन्ह कर चित अपहरई। बरिआईं बिमोह मन करई॥  
> जेहिं बहु बार नचावा मोही। सोइ ब्यापी बिहंगपति तोही॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> महामोह उपजा उर तोरें। मिटिहि न बेगि कहें खग मोरें॥  
> चतुरानन पहिं जाहु खगेसा। सोइ करेहु जेहि होइ निदेसा॥४॥

Meaning: “Garuḍa did all he could to reassure himself; but the light of wisdom did not dawn on him; on the other hand, delusion overshadowed his mind all the more. Torn by torments and full of mental questionings, he fell a prey to delusion just like yourself. (1)

“In his perplexity he approached the celestial sage Nārada and apprized him of the doubt that preyed upon his mind. On hearing his tale Nārada was moved with great compassion and said, ‘Listen, Garuḍa, formidable is Śrī Rāma’s Māyā (delusive power).(2)

“ ‘It robs even the wise of their senses and bringing them under its sway, clouds their mind with utter infatuation. The same Māyā that befooled me many a time has laid its hold on you, O lord of the feathered creation. (3)

“ ‘A blinding infatuation has taken root in your heart and it will not be readily eradicated by any words of mine. Therefore, betake yourself to Brahmā, O Garuḍa, and do whatever he enjoins you.’ (4)

**दो०** 
> अस कहि चले देवरिषि करत राम गुन गान।  
> हरि माया बल बरनत पुनि पुनि परम सुजान॥५९॥

Meaning: “So saying the most enlightened celestial sage went his way, chanting Śrī Rāma’s glories and repeatedly recalling to his mind the power of Śrī Hari’s Māyā. (59)
