गुनातीत सचराचर-स्वामी । राम उमा सब अन्तरजामी ॥
कामिन्ह के दीनता देखाई । धीरन्ह कें मन बिरति दृढ़ाई ॥
gunātīta sacarācara-svāmī | rāma umā saba antarajāmī ||
kāminha ke dīnatā dekhāī | dhīranha keṃ mana birati dṛr̤hāī ||

What happens in this chapter
Shiva's witness and the Pampa lake
Shiva tells Uma: Rama is beyond the gunas, Lord of all, the indweller of every heart. Anger, lust, greed, pride and Maya all fall away by Rama's mercy; the man favoured by the juggler is not fooled by the juggler's show. Uma, I tell you my own experience: worship of Hari is true, and the whole world a dream. Then the Lord comes to the shore of Pampa, a lovely deep lake whose clear water is like a saint's heart. The water hidden under thick lotus leaves is like the formless Brahman veiled by Maya, and the fish, happy in its depths, are like the days of those who keep dharma.
क्रोध मनोज लोभ मद माया । छूटहिँ सकल राम कीं दाया ॥
सो नर इन्द्रजाल नहिं भूला । जा पर होइ सो नट अनुकूला ॥
krodha manoja lobha mada māyā | chūṭahim̐ sakala rāma kīṃ dāyā ||
so nara indrajāla nahiṃ bhūlā | jā para hoi so naṭa anukūlā ||
उमा कहउँ मैं अनुभव अपना । सत हरि भजनु जगत सब सपना ॥
पुनि प्रभु गये सरोबर तीरा । पम्पा नाम सुभग गम्भीरा ॥
umā kahaum̐ maiṃ anubhava apanā | sata hari bhajanu jagata saba sapanā ||
puni prabhu gaye sarobara tīrā | pampā nāma subhaga gambhīrā ||
सन्त हृदय जल निर्मल बारी । बाँधे घाट मनोहर चारी ॥
जहँ तहँ पिअहिं विविध मृग नीरा । जनु उदार-गृह जाचक भीरा ॥
santa hṛdaya jala nirmala bārī | bām̐dhe ghāṭa manohara cārī ||
jaham̐ taham̐ piahiṃ vividha mṛga nīrā | janu udāra-gṛha jācaka bhīrā ||
पुरइनि सघन ओट जल, बेगि न पाइअ मर्म ।
मायाछन्न न देखिऐ, जैसे निर्गुन ब्रह्म ॥
puraini saghana oṭa jala, begi na pāia marma |
māyāchanna na dekhiai, jaise nirguna brahma ||
सुखी मीन सब एकरस, अति अगाध जल माहिँ ।
जथा धर्म-सीलन्ह के, दिन सुख-संजुत जाहिँ ॥
sukhī mīna saba ekarasa, ati agādha jala māhim̐ |
jathā dharma-sīlanha ke, dina sukha-saṃjuta jāhim̐ ||
