Doha 75b
राम कृपा आपनि जड़ताई। कहउँ खगेस सुनहु मन लाई॥ जब जब राम मनुज तनु धरहीं। भक्त हेतु लीला बहु करहीं॥१॥
तब तब अवधपुरी मैं जाऊँ। बालचरित बिलोकि हरषाऊँ॥ जन्म महोत्सव देखउँ जाई। बरष पाँच तहँ रहउँ लोभाई॥२॥
इष्टदेव मम बालक रामा। सोभा बपुष कोटि सत कामा॥ निज प्रभु बदन निहारि निहारी। लोचन सुफल करउँ उरगारी॥३॥
लघु बायस बपु धरि हरि संगा। देखउँ बालचरित बहु रंगा॥४॥
Meaning
“Now, O Garuḍa, lord of the feathered kingdom, I tell you of Śrī Rāma’s benign nature and my own insensitivity; listen attentively. Whenever Śrī Rāma appears in human form and enacts innumerable sports (Līlā) for the sake of His devotees, (1) “I betake myself to the city of Ayodhyā and rejoice to watch His childlike plays. I go and witness the grand festival of His birth and, fascinated (by the charm of His childlike sports), stay on there for full five years. (2) “Child Rāma is my beloved deity, who in totality sums up in His person the charm of countless Cupids. Ever gazing on the countenance of my lord, I let my eyes take utmost delight of their being. (3) “Assuming the form of a little crow and remaining in the company of Śrī Hari, I witness His childlike exploits of all kinds. (4)
लरिकाईं जहँ जहँ फिरहिं तहँ तहँ संग उड़ाउँ। जूठनि परइ अजिर महँ सो उठाइ करि खाउँ॥७५ (क)॥
एक बार अतिसय सब चरित किए रघुबीर। सुमिरत प्रभु लीला सोइ पुलकित भयउ सरीर॥७५ (ख)॥
Meaning
“Wherever He moves about as a child I flutter about close to Him. And the crumbs that fall from His mouth in the courtyard I pick them up and eat these. (75 A) “In one particular cycle Śrī Raghunātha performed all His exploits in their fulness.” The moment Kākabhuśuṇḍi recalled those exploits, hair on his body stood erect. (75 B)
