जौँ मो पर प्रसन्न सुखरासी । जानिय सत्य मोहि निज-दासी ॥
तौँ प्रभु हरहु मोर अग्याना । कहि रघुनाथ कथा बिधि नाना ॥
jaum̐ mo para prasanna sukharāsī | jāniya satya mohi nija-dāsī ||
taum̐ prabhu harahu mora agyānā | kahi raghunātha kathā bidhi nānā ||

What happens in this chapter
Parvati's doubt: prince or Brahman?
Parvati continues: if you are pleased with me, abode of joy, and count me your own servant, then remove my ignorance by telling Raghunatha's katha in its many forms. Can one who lives under a wishing tree suffer the pain of poverty? Thinking this, moon-adorned Lord, clear the great confusion in my mind. Sages who speak of the highest truth call Rama the beginningless Brahman; And you yourself, foe of Ananga, repeat 'Rama, Rama' day and night with reverence. Is this Rama the son of the king of Avadha, or someone unborn, beyond qualities, beyond perception? If he is a king's son, how is he Brahman, his mind bewildered by separation from his wife? Seeing his deeds and hearing his glory, my mind is badly confused.
जासु भवन सुरतरु तर होई । सहि कि दरिद्र-जनित-दुख सोई ॥
ससि-भूषन अस हृदयँ बिचारी । हरहु नाथ मम मति भ्रम भारी ॥
jāsu bhavana surataru tara hoī | sahi ki daridra-janita-dukha soī ||
sasi-bhūṣana asa hṛdayam̐ bicārī | harahu nātha mama mati bhrama bhārī ||
प्रभु जे मुनि परमारथबादी । कहहिँ राम कहँ ब्रह्म अनादी ॥
सेष सारदा बेद पुराना । सकल करहिँ रघुपति-गुन-गाना ॥
prabhu je muni paramārathabādī | kahahim̐ rāma kaham̐ brahma anādī ||
seṣa sāradā beda purānā | sakala karahim̐ raghupati-guna-gānā ||
तुम्ह पुनि राम राम दिन राती । सादर जपहु अनङ्ग-आराती ॥
राम सो अवध-नृपति-सुत सोई । की अज अगुन अलख-गति कोई ॥
tumha puni rāma rāma dina rātī | sādara japahu anaṅga-ārātī ||
rāma so avadha-nṛpati-suta soī | kī aja aguna alakha-gati koī ||
जौँ नृप-तनय त ब्रह्म किमि, नारि बिरहँ मति भोरि ।
देखि चरित महिमा सुनत, भ्रमति बुद्धि अति मोरि ॥
jaum̐ nṛpa-tanaya ta brahma kimi, nāri biraham̐ mati bhori |
dekhi carita mahimā sunata, bhramati buddhi ati mori ||
