अगनित रबि ससि सिव चतुरानन । बहु गिरि सरित सिन्धु महि कानन ॥
काल करम गुन ज्ञान सुभाऊ । सोउ देखा जो सुना न काऊ ॥
aganita rabi sasi siva caturānana | bahu giri sarita sindhu mahi kānana ||
kāla karama guna jñāna subhāū | sou dekhā jo sunā na kāū ||

Chapter 202: Kausalya sees the cosmic form and prays
5 verses · 202 of 361
What happens in this chapter
Kausalya sees the cosmic form and prays
In that form Kausalya sees time, karma, the gunas, knowledge and nature, things she had never even heard of. She sees maya, dense in every way, standing in great fear with joined hands; she sees the jiva whom maya makes dance, and bhakti that sets it free. Her body thrills, no words come; she closes her eyes and bows her head at His feet. Seeing His mother amazed, the Lord becomes a child again. She cannot even praise Him, she is so afraid: I took the Father of the world for my son. Hari consoles her in many ways and says, listen, mother, do not tell this to anyone. Again and again Kausalya pleads with joined palms: Lord, never let Your maya overcome me again.
देखी माया सब बिधि गाढ़ी । अति सभीत जोरें कर ठाढ़ी ॥
देखा जीव नचावइ जाही । देखी भगति जो छोरइ ताही ॥
dekhī māyā saba bidhi gār̤hī | ati sabhīta joreṃ kara ṭhār̤hī ||
dekhā jīva nacāvai jāhī | dekhī bhagati jo chorai tāhī ||
तन पुलकित मुख बचन न आवा । नयन मूँदि चरननि सिर नावा ॥
बिसमयवन्त देखि महँतारी । भये बहुरि सिसु रूप खरारी ॥
tana pulakita mukha bacana na āvā | nayana mūm̐di caranani sira nāvā ||
bisamayavanta dekhi maham̐tārī | bhaye bahuri sisu rūpa kharārī ||
अस्तुति करि न जाइ भय माना । जगत-पिता मैँ सुत करि जाना ॥
हरि जननी बहु बिधि समुझाई । यह जनि कतहुँ कहसि सुनु माई ॥
astuti kari na jāi bhaya mānā | jagata-pitā maim̐ suta kari jānā ||
hari jananī bahu bidhi samujhāī | yaha jani katahum̐ kahasi sunu māī ||
बार बार कौसल्या, बिनय करइ कर जोरि ।
अब जनि कबहूँ ब्यापै, प्रभु मोहि माया तोरि ॥
bāra bāra kausalyā, binaya karai kara jori |
aba jani kabahūm̐ byāpai, prabhu mohi māyā tori ||
