बचन सुनत सुरगुरु मुसुकाने । सहस-नयन बिनु लोचन जाने ॥
मायापति-सेवक सन माया । करइ त उलटि परइ सुरराया ॥
bacana sunata suraguru musukāne | sahasa-nayana binu locana jāne ||
māyāpati-sevaka sana māyā | karai ta ulaṭi parai surarāyā ||

What happens in this chapter
Brihaspati warns Indra against deceit
Hearing this, Brihaspati smiles; the thousand-eyed god, he sees, is blind. Give up deceit, he says; trickery here will only make a clown of you. Maya used against a servant of the Lord of Maya turns back on the one who uses it. Hear Raghunath's nature, lord of gods: he is never angered by an offence against himself, but whoever offends his devotee burns in the fire of Rama's wrath. The world and the Veda know this history; Durvasa knows that glory well. Who loves Rama like Bharata? The world chants 'Rama', and Rama chants Bharata's name. Never even think of harming Raghubar's devotee, Indra; it brings infamy here, suffering hereafter and grief that grows daily.
तब किछु कीन्ह राम-रुख जानी । अब कुचालि करि होइहि हानी ॥
सुनु सुरेस रघुनाथ सुभाऊ । निज अपराध रिसाहिँ न काऊ ॥
taba kichu kīnha rāma-rukha jānī | aba kucāli kari hoihi hānī ||
sunu suresa raghunātha subhāū | nija aparādha risāhim̐ na kāū ||
जो अपराध भगत कर करई । राम-रोष-पावक सो जरई ॥
लोकहु बेद बिदित इतिहासा । यह महिमा जानहिँ दुरबासा ॥
jo aparādha bhagata kara karaī | rāma-roṣa-pāvaka so jaraī ||
lokahu beda bidita itihāsā | yaha mahimā jānahim̐ durabāsā ||
भरत सरिस को राम-सनेही । जग जप राम राम जप जेही ॥
bharata sarisa ko rāma-sanehī | jaga japa rāma rāma japa jehī ||
मनहुँ न आनिय अमरपति, रघुबर-भगत अकाज ।
अजस-लोक परलोक-दुख, दिन दिन सोक-समाज ॥
manahum̐ na āniya amarapati, raghubara-bhagata akāja |
ajasa-loka paraloka-dukha, dina dina soka-samāja ||
