Doha 85b
एवमस्तु कहि रघुकुलनायक। बोले बचन परम सुखदायक॥ सुनु बायस तैं सहज सयाना। काहे न मागसि अस बरदाना॥१॥
सब सुख खानि भगति तैं मागी। नहिं जग कोउ तोहि सम बड़भागी॥ जो मुनि कोटि जतन नहिं लहहीं। जे जप जोग अनल तन दहहीं॥२॥
रीझेउँ देखि तोरि चतुराई। मागेहु भगति मोहि अति भाई॥ सुनु बिहंग प्रसाद अब मोरें। सब सुभ गुन बसिहहिं उर तोरें॥३॥
भगति ग्यान बिग्यान बिरागा। जोग चरित्र रहस्य बिभागा॥ जानब तैं सबही कर भेदा। मम प्रसाद नहिं साधन खेदा॥४॥
Meaning
“So be it!” said Śrī Raghunātha, and continued in the most pleasing accents “Listen, Kākabhuśuṇḍi: you are sagacious by nature; no wonder, therefore, that you have asked this boon. (1) “No one in this world is so highly blessed as you, since you have sought the gift of Devotion, which is the fountain of all blessings and which even sages cannot attain in spite of all their efforts, even though they consume their body in the fire of prayer and meditation. (2) “I am immensely pleased to see your sagacity in that you have sought Devotion, which is extremely dear to My heart. Listen, O bird,—by My grace now all good virtues shall abide in your heart. (3) “Devotion, spiritual wisdom, Realization, dispassion, Yoga, My exploits as well as their subtle meanings and classification—by My grace you shall obtain insight into all these and shall not be required to undergo the rigours of Sādhanā (self-discipline). (4)
माया संभव भ्रम सब अब न ब्यापिहहिं तोहि। जानेसु ब्रह्म अनादि अज अगुन गुनाकर मोहि॥८५ (क)॥
मोहि भगत प्रिय संतत अस बिचारि सुनु काग। कायँ बचन मन मम पद करेसु अचल अनुराग॥८५ (ख)॥
Meaning
“None of the delusions that arise from Māyā shall cloud your mind any more. Hence-forth know Me to be the same as Brahma, who is without beginning, birthless, devoid of attributes (the products of Māyā) and yet a mine of transcendent and divine virtues. (85 A) “Listen, Kākabhuśuṇḍi, devotees are always dear to Me. Realizing this, cherish unflinching devotion to My feet in thought, word and deed. (85 B)
