आरति बिनय दीनता मोरी । लघुता ललित सुबारि न खोरी ॥
अदभुत सलिल सुनत गुनकारी । आस पिआस मनोमल-हारी ॥
ārati binaya dīnatā morī | laghutā lalita subāri na khorī ||
adabhuta salila sunata gunakārī | āsa piāsa manomala-hārī ||

What happens in this chapter
The water's virtues; turning to the frame
The poet's distress and humility are the lightness of this water, not a fault. It heals by being heard, quenches the thirst of desire and washes the mind. It nourishes love for Rama, removes Kali's stains, dries the weariness of worldly life and ends sin and poverty. It destroys lust, anger and delusion and increases discernment and dispassion. Those who have not washed their minds in it are cowards cheated by Kali, who will chase mirages like thirsty deer. The dohas: having bathed his mind in these virtues, remembering Bhavani and Shankar, the poet turns to the meeting and dialogue of the two great sages.
राम सुप्रेमहि पोषत पानी । हरत सकल कलि-कलुष गलानी ॥
भव स्रम सोषक तोषक तोषा । समन दुरित दुख दारिद दोषा ॥
rāma supremahi poṣata pānī | harata sakala kali-kaluṣa galānī ||
bhava srama soṣaka toṣaka toṣā | samana durita dukha dārida doṣā ||
काम कोह मद मोह नसावन । बिमल बिबेक बिराग बढ़ावन ॥
सादर मज्जन पान किये तेँ । मिटिहि पाप परिताप हिये तेँ ॥
kāma koha mada moha nasāvana | bimala bibeka birāga bar̤hāvana ||
sādara majjana pāna kiye tem̐ | miṭihi pāpa paritāpa hiye tem̐ ||
जिन्ह एहि बारि न मानस धोये । ते कायर कलिकाल बिगोये ॥
तृषित निरखि रबि-कर-भव-बारी । फिरिहहिँ मृग जिमि जीव दुखारी ॥
jinha ehi bāri na mānasa dhoye | te kāyara kalikāla bigoye ||
tṛṣita nirakhi rabi-kara-bhava-bārī | phirihahim̐ mṛga jimi jīva dukhārī ||
मति अनुहारि सुबारि गुन, गनि मन अन्हवाइ ।
सुमिरि भवानी-सङ्करहि, कह कबि कथा सुहाइ ॥
mati anuhāri subāri guna, gani mana anhavāi |
sumiri bhavānī-saṅkarahi, kaha kabi kathā suhāi ||
अब रघुपति-पद-पङ्करुह, हियँ धरि पाइ प्रसाद ।
कहउँ जुगल मुनिबर्ज कर, मिलन सुभग सम्बाद ॥
aba raghupati-pada-paṅkaruha, hiyam̐ dhari pāi prasāda |
kahaum̐ jugala munibarja kara, milana subhaga sambāda ||
