सुनु सेवक सुरतरु-सुरधेनु । बिधि-हरि-हर-बन्दित पद-रेनू ॥
सेवत सुलभ सकल सुख दायक । प्रनत पाल सचराचर नायक ॥
sunu sevaka surataru-suradhenu | bidhi-hari-hara-bandita pada-renū ||
sevata sulabha sakala sukha dāyaka | pranata pāla sacarācara nāyaka ||

What happens in this chapter
Manu asks to see the Lord's form
Manu prays: hear me, You who are a wishing tree and wishing cow to Your servants, whose foot-dust Brahma, Hari and Hara revere, easy to win by service, giver of all joy, guardian of those who bow, Lord of all that moves and stands still. If You love us, friend of the helpless, be pleased and grant this boon: let us fill our eyes with that form which dwells in Shiva's mind, for which munis strive, the swan in the lake of Bhushundi's mind, praised by the Vedas as with and without qualities. Be gracious, remover of the sorrow of those who bow. The couple's soft, humble words, steeped in love, pleased Him, and the Lord who loves His devotees, who dwells in all, appeared, His beauty shaming countless Kamadevas.
जौँ अनाथ-हित हम पर नेहू । तौ प्रसन्न होइ यह बर देहू ॥
जो सरूप बस सिव मन माहीँ । जेहि कारन मुनि जतन कराहीँ ॥
jaum̐ anātha-hita hama para nehū | tau prasanna hoi yaha bara dehū ||
jo sarūpa basa siva mana māhīm̐ | jehi kārana muni jatana karāhīm̐ ||
जो भुसुंडि-मन-मानस हंसा । सगुन अगुन जेहि निगम प्रसंसा ॥
देखहिँ हम सो रूप भरि लोचन । कृपा करहु प्रनतारति-मोचन ॥
jo bhusuṃḍi-mana-mānasa haṃsā | saguna aguna jehi nigama prasaṃsā ||
dekhahim̐ hama so rūpa bhari locana | kṛpā karahu pranatārati-mocana ||
दम्पति बचन परम प्रिय लागे । मृदुल बिनीत प्रेम-रस पागे ॥
भगत-बछल प्रभु कृपानिधाना । विस्वबास प्रगटे भगवाना ॥
dampati bacana parama priya lāge | mṛdula binīta prema-rasa pāge ||
bhagata-bachala prabhu kṛpānidhānā | visvabāsa pragaṭe bhagavānā ||
नील सरोरुह नील मनि, नील नीरधर स्याम ।
लाजहिँ तनु सोभा निरखि, कोटि कोटि सत काम ॥
nīla saroruha nīla mani, nīla nīradhara syāma |
lājahim̐ tanu sobhā nirakhi, koṭi koṭi sata kāma ||
