# Uttar Kand · Doha 69b

**चौ०** 
> देखि चरित अति नर अनुसारी। भयउ हृदयँ मम संसय भारी॥  
> सोइ भ्रम अब हित करि मैं माना। कीन्ह अनुग्रह कृपानिधाना॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> जो अति आतप ब्याकुल होई। तरु छाया सुख जानइ सोई॥  
> जौं नहिं होत मोह अति मोही। मिलतेउँ तात कवन बिधि तोही॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> सुनतेउँ किमि हरि कथा सुहाई। अति बिचित्र बहु बिधि तुम्ह गाई॥  
> निगमागम पुरान मत एहा। कहहिं सिद्ध मुनि नहिं संदेहा॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> संत बिसुद्ध मिलहिं परि तेही। चितवहिं राम कृपा करि जेही॥  
> राम कृपाँ तव दरसन भयऊ। तव प्रसाद सब संसय गयऊ॥४॥

Meaning: “As I found His ways so closely resembling those of a human being, a grievous doubt arose in my mind. Now I regard that error of mine as a blessing and feel that the All-merciful bestowed a favour on me (in the form of that error). (1)

“For he alone who is terribly oppressed with the heat of the sun can appreciate the blessing of an umbrageous tree. Had I not thus fallen a prey to gross infatuation, how could it have been possible for me to meet you, Revered Sir. (2)

“And how could I get an opportunity to hear the charming and most wonderful story of Śrī Hari that you have just sung in all its details. The Vedas, the Tantras and the Purāṇas are all one on this point and so declare the Siddhas and sages in unequivocal terms, (3)

“that the fellowship of genuine saints is attained only by those whom Śrī Rāma regards with favour. By Śrī Rāma’s grace I have been blessed with your sight and by your blessing, again, all my doubts have disappeared.” (4)

**दो०** 
> सुनि बिहंगपति बानी सहित बिनय अनुराग।  
> पुलक गात लोचन सजल मन हरषेउ अति काग॥६९ (क)॥

**दो०** 
> श्रोता सुमति सुसील सुचि कथा रसिक हरिदास।  
> पाइ उमा अति गोप्यमपि सज्जन करहिं प्रकास॥६९ (ख)॥

Meaning: On hearing Garuḍa’s speech, so modest and affectionate, Kākabhuśuṇḍi was greatly enraptured at heart: every hair on his body stood erect and his eyes were filled with tears.(69A)

Umā, (continues Lord Śiva,) saints reveal their profoundest secrets when they find a listener who is not only intelligent, virtuous and pious, but fond of Śrī Rāma’s narrative (legends) and a devotee of Śrī Hari. (69 B)
