Doha 72b

चौ०

जो माया सब जगहि नचावा। जासु चरित लखि काहुँ न पावा॥ सोइ प्रभु भ्रू बिलास खगराजा। नाच नटी इव सहित समाजा॥१॥

चौ०

सोइ सच्चिदानंद घन रामा। अज बिग्यान रूप बल धामा॥ ब्यापक ब्याप्य अखंड अनंता। अखिल अमोघसक्ति भगवंता॥२॥

चौ०

अगुन अदभ्र गिरा गोतीता। सबदरसी अनवद्य अजीता॥ निर्मम निराकार निरमोहा। नित्य निरंजन सुख संदोहा॥३॥

चौ०

प्रकृति पार प्रभु सब उर बासी। ब्रह्म निरीह बिरज अबिनासी॥ इहाँ मोह कर कारन नाहीं। रबि सन्मुख तम कबहुँ कि जाहीं॥४॥

Meaning

“The same Māyā that has made a puppet of the whole world and whose ways are unknown to everyone, dances with all her troupe like an actress on the stage to the play of the Lord’s eyebrows, O Garuḍa, the king of birds. (1) “Such is Śrī Rāma, who is devoid of birth, the totality of Existence, Knowledge and Bliss, wisdom personified, the acme of beauty and strength. He is both pervading and pervaded, immutable, infinite and integral, the Lord of unfailing power. (2) “Devoid of Guṇas, vast (immense), transcending speech as well as the other senses, all-seeing, free from blemish, invincible, unattached, devoid of form, free from error, eternal and untainted by Māyā, bliss personified, (3) “beyond the realm of Prakṛti (Matter), the Lord indwelling the hearts of all, is the desireless, immutable and imperishable Brahma. In Him infatuation finds no ground to stand upon; can the mass of darkness ever approach the sun? (4)

दो०

भगत हेतु भगवान प्रभु राम धरेउ तनु भूप। किए चरित पावन परम प्राकृत नर अनुरूप॥७२ (क)॥

दो०

जथा अनेक बेष धरि नृत्य करइ नट कोइ। सोइ सोइ भाव देखावइ आपुन होइ न सोइ॥७२ (ख)॥

Meaning

“For the sake of His devotees, the divine Lord Śrī Rāma took the form of an earthly sovereign and performed most sacred deeds in the manner of ordinary mortals, (72 A) “even as an actor, while acting on the stage, assumes various guises and exhibits different characters but himself remains his own self.
