Doha 79b
ऐसेहिं हरि बिनु भजन खगेसा। मिटइ न जीवन्ह केर कलेसा॥ हरि सेवकहि न ब्याप अबिद्या। प्रभु प्रेरित ब्यापइ तेहि बिद्या॥१॥
ताते नास न होइ दास कर। भेद भगति बाढ़इ बिहंगबर॥ भ्रम तें चकित राम मोहि देखा। बिहँसे सो सुनु चरित बिसेषा॥२॥
तेहि कौतुक कर मरमु न काहूँ। जाना अनुज न मातु पिताहूँ॥ जानु पानि धाए मोहि धरना। स्यामल गात अरुन कर चरना॥३॥
तब मैं भागि चलेउँ उरगारी। राम गहन कहँ भुजा पसारी॥ जिमि जिमि दूरि उड़ाउँ अकासा। तहँ भुज हरि देखउँ निज पासा॥४॥
Meaning
“In like manner, O lord of the feathered race, mortals cannot be rid of their suffering without adoring Śrī Hari. Avidyā (Nescience) has no power over a servant of Śrī Hari; it is Vidyā (knowledge of Brahma in Its relative aspect) that holds sway over him as directed by the Lord. (1) “That is why a follower of the Lord never falls; on the other hand, O best of birds, his devotion to the Lord, as apart from himself (भेदभक्ति), grows. Śrī Rāma smiled to see me bewildered with delusion: now hear the special narrative in this connection. (2) “The secret of this sport nobody came to know, neither His younger brothers nor His parents. The Lord with a swarthy form and rosy hands and feet, crawled on His hands and knees in order to catch me. (3) “Thereupon, O enemy of serpents, I took to flight. Śrī Rāma stretched out His arm to lay hold of me. Away and away as I flew towards the sky, I saw Śrī Hari’s arm close to me everywhere. (4)
ब्रह्मलोक लगि गयउँ मैं चितयउँ पाछ उड़ात। जुग अंगुल कर बीच सब राम भुजहि मोहि तात॥ ७९ ( क )॥
सप्ताबरन भेद करि जहाँ लगें गति मोरि। गयउँ तहाँ प्रभु भुज निरखि ब्याकुल भयउँ बहोरि॥७९ (ख)॥
Meaning
“I flew up to Brahmā’s abode; but when I looked back in my flight, two fingers’ breadth, dear Garuḍa, was all the distance between Śrī Rāma’s arm and myself. (79 A) “Penetrating the seven folds of the universe (consisting of earth, water, fire, air, ether, the cosmic ego and the cosmic intellect) I went upto the utmost height I could reach. But there too I saw the Lord’s arm; then I felt alarmed. (79 B)
