So Rama, father and mother of the world, gives joy to the people of Koshala. Shiva tells Bhavani this is the state of all who love Rama's feet. Who, turned away from Him, can untie the bonds of worldly life? The maya that holds every being in its power fears the Lord and dances at the play of His eyebrow. Leaving such a Lord, whom should one worship? Give up cleverness and worship Him in thought, word and deed, and He will be gracious. Kausalya rocks Him in her lap or swings Him in the cradle, so lost in love that day and night pass unnoticed.
एहि बिधि राम जगत-पितु-माता । कोसलपुरबासिन्ह सुख-दाता ॥
जिन्ह रघुनाथ चरन रति मानी । तिन्ह की यह गति प्रगट भवानी ॥
ehi bidhi rāma jagata-pitu-mātā | kosalapurabāsinha sukha-dātā ||
jinha raghunātha carana rati mānī | tinha kī yaha gati pragaṭa bhavānī ||
रघुपति-बिमुख जतन कर कोरी । कवन सकइ भव-बन्धन छोरी ॥
जीव चराचर बस कै राखे । सो माया प्रभु सोँ भय भाखे ॥
raghupati-bimukha jatana kara korī | kavana sakai bhava-bandhana chorī ||
jīva carācara basa kai rākhe | so māyā prabhu som̐ bhaya bhākhe ||
भृकुटि-बिलास नचावइ ताही । अस प्रभु छाडि भजिअ कहु काही ॥
मन क्रम बचन छाड़ि चतुराई । भजत कृपा करिहहिँ रघुराई ॥
bhṛkuṭi-bilāsa nacāvai tāhī | asa prabhu chāḍi bhajia kahu kāhī ||
mana krama bacana chār̤i caturāī | bhajata kṛpā karihahim̐ raghurāī ||
एहि बिधि सिसु-बिनोद प्रभु कीन्हा । सकल नगर-बासिन्ह सुख दीन्हा ॥
लेइ उछङ्ग कबहुँक हलरावै । कबहुँ पालनें घालि झुलावै ॥
ehi bidhi sisu-binoda prabhu kīnhā | sakala nagara-bāsinha sukha dīnhā ||
lei uchaṅga kabahum̐ka halarāvai | kabahum̐ pālaneṃ ghāli jhulāvai ||
प्रेम मगन कौसल्या, निसि दिन जात न जान ।
सुत-सनेह-बस माता, बाल-चरित कर गान ॥
prema magana kausalyā, nisi dina jāta na jāna |
suta-saneha-basa mātā, bāla-carita kara gāna ||
