Doha 62b
मिलहिं न रघुपति बिनु अनुरागा। किएँ जोग तप ग्यान बिरागा॥ उत्तर दिसि सुंदर गिरि नीला। तहँ रह काकभुसुंडि सुसीला॥१॥
राम भगति पथ परम प्रबीना। ग्यानी गुन गृह बहु कालीना॥ राम कथा सो कहइ निरंतर। सादर सुनहिं बिबिध बिहंगबर॥२॥
जाइ सुनहु तहँ हरि गुन भूरी। होइहि मोह जनित दुख दूरी॥ मैं जब तेहि सब कहा बुझाई। चलेउ हरषि मम पद सिरु नाई॥३॥
ताते उमा न मैं समुझावा। रघुपति कृपाँ मरमु मैं पावा॥ होइहि कीन्ह कबहुँ अभिमाना। सो खोवै चह कृपानिधाना॥४॥
कछु तेहि ते पुनि मैं नहिं राखा। समुझइ खग खगही कै भाषा॥ प्रभु माया बलवंत भवानी। जाहि न मोह कवन अस ग्यानी॥५॥
Meaning
“Śrī Raghunātha cannot be found except through love, even though you may practise Yoga (mind-control) or austere penance or culivate spiritual wisdom or dispassion. In the north there is a beautiful bluish mountain called Nīlagiri, where lives the amiable Kākabhuśuṇḍi, (1) “highly conversant with the path of Devotion to Śrī Rāma, enlightened, full of all good qualities and ages old. He unceasingly recites Śrī Rāma’s narrative and noble birds of different species reverently listen to it. (2) “Go there and hear of the many virtues of Śrī Hari; your distress born of infatuation will thus be resolved.” When I had thus told him everything in unambiguous terms, Garuḍa bowed his head at my feet and departed joyfully. (3) “Umā, I did not instruct him myself, because by the grace of Śrī Raghunātha I had come to know the secret (of Garuḍa’s infatuation). He must have given vent to his pride on some occasion and the All-merciful Śrī Rāma evidently wished to cure him of that. (4) “Partly there was another reason why I did not detain him: a bird follows the language of a bird better. My lord’s Māyā, Bhavānī, is formidable; who is there so wise as not to be beguiled by it? (5)
ग्यानी भगत सिरोमनि त्रिभुवनपति कर जान। ताहि मोह माया नर पावँर करहिं गुमान॥६२ (क)॥
सिव बिरंचि कहुँ मोहइ को है बपुरा आन। अस जियँ जानि भजहिं मुनि माया पति भगवान॥६२ (ख)॥
Meaning
“Even Garuḍa, the very crest-jewel of devotees and enlightened souls and the mount of Lord Viṣṇu, the sovereign of the three spheres, was deluded by Māyā; how absurd, then, that poor mortals foolishly feel proud.” (62 A) [PAUSE 28 FOR A THIRTY-DAY RECITATION] The Lord’s Māyā beguiles even Śiva and Brahmā; of what account is any poor creature? Bearing this in mind, the sages adore the divine Lord of Māyā (Śrī Hari).(62 B)
