देखि प्रीति सुनि बचन अमोले । एवमस्तु करुनानिधि बोले ॥
आपु सरिस खोजौं कहँ जाई । नृप तव तनय होब मैँ आई ॥
dekhi prīti suni bacana amole | evamastu karunānidhi bole ||
āpu sarisa khojauṃ kaham̐ jāī | nṛpa tava tanaya hoba maim̐ āī ||

What happens in this chapter
The Lord promises to be their son
Seeing his love and hearing those priceless words, the ocean of mercy said, "So be it. Where would I go to find one like Myself? I Myself will come, king, as your son." Then, joining His palms, He turned to Shatarupa: ask whatever boon you wish, Devi. She said the boon the wise king asked is very dear to her too. Yet it is great boldness, Lord, though You love what serves Your devotees. You are father of Brahma and the rest, master of the world, Brahman dwelling in every heart; thinking so, doubt rises, though what You have said must stand. So she asks: grant us the same joy and state Your own devotees attain, the same bhakti, love for Your feet, discernment and way of life.
सतरूपहि बिलोकि कर जोरें । देबि माँगु बर जो रुचि तोरे ॥
जो बर नाथ चतुर नृप माँगा । सोइ कृपाल मोहि अति प्रिय लागा ॥
satarūpahi biloki kara joreṃ | debi mām̐gu bara jo ruci tore ||
jo bara nātha catura nṛpa mām̐gā | soi kṛpāla mohi ati priya lāgā ||
प्रभु परन्तु सुठि होति ढिठाई । जदपि भगत-हित तुम्हहिँ सोहाई ॥
तुम्ह ब्रह्मादि-जनक जग स्वामी । ब्रह्म सकल-उर-अन्तरजामी ॥
prabhu parantu suṭhi hoti ḍhiṭhāī | jadapi bhagata-hita tumhahim̐ sohāī ||
tumha brahmādi-janaka jaga svāmī | brahma sakala-ura-antarajāmī ||
अस समुझत मन संसय होई । कहा जो प्रभु प्रवान पुनि सोई ॥
जे निज भगत नाथ तव अहहीँ । जो सुख पावहिँ जो गति लहहीँ ॥
asa samujhata mana saṃsaya hoī | kahā jo prabhu pravāna puni soī ||
je nija bhagata nātha tava ahahīm̐ | jo sukha pāvahim̐ jo gati lahahīm̐ ||
सोइ-सुख सोइ-गति सोइ-भगति, सोइ निज चरन-सनेहु ।
सोइ-बिबेक सोइ-रहनि प्रभु, हमहिँ कृपा करि देहु ॥
soi-sukha soi-gati soi-bhagati, soi nija carana-sanehu |
soi-bibeka soi-rahani prabhu, hamahim̐ kṛpā kari dehu ||
