इच्छामय नर-बेष सँवारें । होइहउँ प्रगट निकेत तुम्हारे ॥
अंसन्ह सहित देह धरि ताता । करिहउँ चरित भगत-सुख-दाता ॥
icchāmaya nara-beṣa sam̐vāreṃ | hoihaum̐ pragaṭa niketa tumhāre ||
aṃsanha sahita deha dhari tātā | karihaum̐ carita bhagata-sukha-dātā ||

What happens in this chapter
The Lord's promise and the couple's departure
The Lord continues: taking a human form of My own will, I will appear in your house. With My portions I will take a body, father, and do deeds that delight My devotees, hearing which people will cross the ocean of becoming. The Adi Shakti who brought forth the world, this maya of Mine, will also take birth. I will fulfil your wish; true, true, true is My vow. Saying this again and again, the merciful Lord vanished. Holding that bhakti in their hearts, the couple lived some time in that ashrama, then at the right hour left their bodies without pain and went to dwell in Amaravati. Yajnavalkya notes that Shiva told Uma this holy history, and turns to another cause of Shri Rama's birth.
जे सुनि सादर नर बड़भागी । भव तरिहहिँ ममता-मद त्यागी ॥
आदिसक्ति जेहिं जग उपजाया । सोउ अवतरिहि मोरि यह माया ॥
je suni sādara nara bar̤abhāgī | bhava tarihahim̐ mamatā-mada tyāgī ||
ādisakti jehiṃ jaga upajāyā | sou avatarihi mori yaha māyā ||
पुरउब मैँ अभिलाष तुम्हारा । सत्य सत्य पन सत्य हमारा ॥
पुनि पुनि अस कहि कृपानिधाना । अन्तरधान भये भगवाना ॥
purauba maim̐ abhilāṣa tumhārā | satya satya pana satya hamārā ||
puni puni asa kahi kṛpānidhānā | antaradhāna bhaye bhagavānā ||
दम्पति उर धरि भगति कृपाला । तेहिं आश्रम निवसे कछु काला ॥
समय पाइ तनु तजि अनयासा । जाइ कीन्ह अमरावति बासा ॥
dampati ura dhari bhagati kṛpālā | tehiṃ āśrama nivase kachu kālā ||
samaya pāi tanu taji anayāsā | jāi kīnha amarāvati bāsā ||
यह इतिहास पुनीत अति, उमहि कहा वृषकेतु ।
भरद्वाज सुनु अपर पुनि, राम-जनम कर हेतु ॥
yaha itihāsa punīta ati, umahi kahā vṛṣaketu |
bharadvāja sunu apara puni, rāma-janama kara hetu ||
