सोइ जस गाइ भगत भव तरहीँ । कृपासिन्धु जन-हित तनु धरहीँ ॥
राम-जनम के हेतु अनेका । परम बिचित्र एक तेँ एका ॥

What happens in this chapter
Jaya and Vijaya fall under a curse
The Lord's fame is what devotees sing to cross the ocean of birth, and for their sake the ocean of mercy takes a body. Shiva says the causes of Shri Rama's birth are many, each more wondrous than the last, and asks Bhavani to listen closely to one or two. Jaya and Vijaya, the two beloved doorkeepers of Hari, fell under a brahmin's curse and were born as dark-natured asuras, Hiranyakashipu and Hiranyaksha. They humbled even Indra. The Lord took the form of the Boar to kill one and of Narasimha to kill the other, spreading the fame of His devotee Prahlada. The same two were born again as the mighty rakshasas Kumbhakarna and Ravana, conquerors of the devas.
जनम एक दुइ कहउँ बखानी । सावधान सुनु सुमति भवानी ॥
द्वारपाल हरि के प्रिय दोऊ । जय अरु बिजय जान सब कोऊ ॥
janama eka dui kahaum̐ bakhānī | sāvadhāna sunu sumati bhavānī ||
dvārapāla hari ke priya doū | jaya aru bijaya jāna saba koū ||
बिन साप तेँ दूनउँ भाई । तामस असुर देह तिन्ह पाई ॥
कनककसिपु अरु हाटक लोचन । जगत बिदित सुरपति मद-मोचन ॥
bina sāpa tem̐ dūnaum̐ bhāī | tāmasa asura deha tinha pāī ||
kanakakasipu aru hāṭaka locana | jagata bidita surapati mada-mocana ||
बिजई समर बीर बिख्याता । धरि बराह बपु एक निपाता ॥
होइ नरहरि दूसर पुनि मारा । जन प्रहलाद सुजस विस्तारा ॥
bijaī samara bīra bikhyātā | dhari barāha bapu eka nipātā ||
hoi narahari dūsara puni mārā | jana prahalāda sujasa vistārā ||
भये निसाचर जाइ तेइ, महाबीर बलवान ।
कुम्भकरन रावन, सुभट, सुर-बिजई जग जान ॥
bhaye nisācara jāi tei, mahābīra balavāna |
kumbhakarana rāvana, subhaṭa, sura-bijaī jaga jāna ||
