Doha 94b

चौ०

तुम्ह सर्बग्य तग्य तम पारा। सुमति सुसील सरल आचारा॥ ग्यान बिरति बिग्यान निवासा। रघुनायक के तुम्ह प्रिय दासा॥१॥

चौ०

कारन कवन देह यह पाई। तात सकल मोहि कहहु बुझाई॥ राम चरित सर सुंदर स्वामी। पायहु कहाँ कहहु नभगामी॥२॥

चौ०

नाथ सुना मैं अस सिव पाहीं। महा प्रलयहुँ नास तव नाहीं॥ मुधा बचन नहिं ईस्वर कहई। सोउ मोरें मन संसय अहई॥३॥

चौ०

अग जग जीव नाग नर देवा। नाथ सकल जगु काल कलेवा॥ अंड कटाह अमित लयकारी। कालु सदा दुरतिक्रम भारी॥४॥

Meaning

“You are an omniscient knower of Truth, having reached beyond the darkness of ignorance, intelligent, amiable, straight in your dealings and a repository of wisdom, dispassion and Realization. Above all, you are a beloved servant of Śrī Raghunātha. (1) “Yet wherefore did you get this form of a crow? Venerable Sir, explain all this to me clearly. Also tell me, my master, where did you get this lovely ‘Rāmacaritamānasa’, ‘Lake of Śrī Rāma’s Exploits’, O traverser of skies? (2) “My lord, I have heard it from Śiva Himself that you do not perish even during Mahāpralaya (the Great Dissolution when Brahmā himself retires into the Lord’s body after completing the 100 celestial years of his existence). The divine Lord Śiva would never utter a futile word and, therefore, my mind is in doubt. (3) “My lord, the whole universe with all its animate and inanimate beings, including the Nāgas, human beings and gods, are all subject to Death. The Time-Spirit, which destroys countless universes, is ever mighty and irresistible. (4)

सो०

तुम्हहि न ब्यापत काल अति कराल कारन कवन। मोहि सो कहहु कृपाल ग्यान प्रभाव कि जोग बल॥९४(क)॥

दो०

प्रभु तव आश्रम आएँ मोर मोह भ्रम भाग। कारन कवन सो नाथ सब कहहु सहित अनुराग॥९४(ख)॥

Meaning

“How is it that the most formidable Time-Spirit has no power over you? Tell me, my gracious lord, is it a glory of spiritual insight or a feat of Yoga? (94 A) “O lord, my infatuation and delusion disappeared the moment I came to your hermitage. Tell me graciously, my lord, how did all this happen?” (94 B)
