Doha 88b
कबहूँ काल न ब्यापिहि तोही। सुमिरेसु भजेसु निरंतर मोही॥ प्रभु बचनामृत सुनि न अघाऊँ। तनु पुलकित मन अति हरषाऊँ॥१॥
सो सुख जानइ मन अरु काना। नहिं रसना पहिं जाइ बखाना॥ प्रभु सोभा सुख जानहिं नयना। कहि किमि सकहिं तिन्हहि नहिं बयना॥२॥
बहु बिधि मोहि प्रबोधि सुख देई। लगे करन सिसु कौतुक तेई॥ सजल नयन कछु मुख करि रूखा। चितइ मातु लागी अति भूखा॥३॥
देखि मातु आतुर उठि धाई। कहि मृदु बचन लिए उर लाई॥ गोद राखि कराव पय पाना। रघुपति चरित ललित कर गाना॥४॥
Meaning
“Time shall have no power over you. Remember and adore Me unceasingly.” “I did not feel sated with hearing the nectar-like words of the Lord; the hair on my body stood erect and I felt extremely delighted at heart. (1) “The joy I felt on the occasion was shared only by the mind and the ears (the auditory sense); the tongue has no power to tell it. The eyes alone had the blissful experience of beholding the Lord’s beauty; but how could they describe it, devoid of speech as they are? (2) “After He had gladdened me by His manifold exhortations in this way, He again began to sport like a child as before. With tears in His eyes and His looks somewhat gloomy, He looked at his mother (Kausalyā) as if He were hungry. (3) “Seeing this, the mother started up in haste and ran, and addressing Him in soft words clasped Him to her bosom. Then, laying Him in her lap she began to suckle Him, singing all the while of Śrī Rāma’s own charming and lovely exploits. (4)
जेहि सुख लागि पुरारि असुभ बेष कृत सिव सुखद। अवधपुरी नर नारि तेहि सुख महुँ संतत मगन॥८८(क)॥
सोई सुख लवलेस जिन्ह बारक सपनेहुँ लहेउ। ते नहिं गनहिं खगेस ब्रह्मसुखहि सज्जन सुमति॥८८(ख)॥
Meaning
“The men and women of Ayodhyā remained ever absorbed in that transcendental joy, to attain which the blessed Lord Śiva, the delighter of all, assumed His unseemly garb (such as a garland of human skulls, serpents for His ornaments, ashes for scented cosmetics and a tiger-skin for a loin-cloth). (88 A) “Those wise and virtuous persons, who have tasted of that joy only once even in a dream, think nothing of the joy of absorption into Brahma (much less of any other earthly or heavenly joy).
