भयउ न नारद मन कछु रोषा । कहि प्रिय बचन काम परितोषा ॥
नाइ चरन सिर आयसु पाई । गयउ मदन तव सहित सहाई ॥
bhayau na nārada mana kachu roṣā | kahi priya bacana kāma paritoṣā ||
nāi carana sira āyasu pāī | gayau madana tava sahita sahāī ||

What happens in this chapter
Shiva warns Narada to keep silent
Narada felt no anger. He spoke kindly and comforted Kama, who bowed, took leave and went away with his helpers. In Indra's court Kama told of the sage's gentleness and his own failure; all were amazed, praised the muni and bowed to Hari. Then Narada went to Shiva, proud in his heart that he had conquered desire, and told him the whole affair. Shiva, holding him dear, advised him again and again: never tell this to Hari the way you told it to me, and if the subject comes up, turn it aside. Shiva gave this counsel for his good, but Narada did not like it. Yajnavalkya tells Bharadvaja to hear what followed, for Hari's will is strong.
मुनि सुसीलता आपनि करनी । सुरपति-सभाँ जाइ सब बरनी ॥
सुनि सब कें मन अचरज आवा । मुनिहि प्रसंसि हरिहि सिर नावा ॥
muni susīlatā āpani karanī | surapati-sabhām̐ jāi saba baranī ||
suni saba keṃ mana acaraja āvā | munihi prasaṃsi harihi sira nāvā ||
तव नारद गवने सिव पाहीँ । जिता काम अहमिति मन माहीँ ॥
मार चरित सङ्करहिँ सुनाये । अति प्रिय जानि महेस सिखाये ॥
tava nārada gavane siva pāhīm̐ | jitā kāma ahamiti mana māhīm̐ ||
māra carita saṅkarahim̐ sunāye | ati priya jāni mahesa sikhāye ||
बार बार बिनवउँ मुनि तोहीं । जिमि यह कथा सुनायहु मोहीँ ॥
तिमि जनि हरिहि सुनावहु कबहूँ । चलेहुँ प्रसङ्ग दुराएडु तबहूँ ॥
bāra bāra binavaum̐ muni tohīṃ | jimi yaha kathā sunāyahu mohīm̐ ||
timi jani harihi sunāvahu kabahūm̐ | calehum̐ prasaṅga durāeḍu tabahūm̐ ||
सम्भु दीन्ह उपदेस हित, नहिँ नारदहि सोहान ।
भारद्वाज कौतुक सुनहु, हरि-इच्छा बलवान ॥
sambhu dīnha upadesa hita, nahim̐ nāradahi sohāna |
bhāradvāja kautuka sunahu, hari-icchā balavāna ||
