At that moment Shambhu sees Rama and great joy rises in him. He drinks in that ocean of beauty, but knowing the time is wrong he does not make himself known. Saying 'Glory to Sachchidananda, purifier of the world', he walks on with Sati, thrilling again and again. Sati sees this and a strong doubt arises. Shankar is lord of the world, to whom gods and munis bow; yet he bowed to a king's son, called him Sachchidananda and the supreme abode, and still cannot hold back his love. The doha gives her reasoning: can Brahman, all-pervading, stainless, unborn and undivided, whom even the Vedas do not know, take a body and become a man?
सम्भु समय तेहि रामहिँ देखा । उपजा हियँ अति हरष बिसेखा ॥
भरि लोचन छबिसिन्धु निहारी । कुसमय जानि न कीन्ह चिन्हारी ॥
sambhu samaya tehi rāmahim̐ dekhā | upajā hiyam̐ ati haraṣa bisekhā ||
bhari locana chabisindhu nihārī | kusamaya jāni na kīnha cinhārī ||
जय सच्चिदानन्द जग-पावन । अस कहि चलेउ मनोज-नसावन ॥
चले जात सिव सती-समेता । पुनि पुनि पुलकत कृपानिकेता ॥
jaya saccidānanda jaga-pāvana | asa kahi caleu manoja-nasāvana ||
cale jāta siva satī-sametā | puni puni pulakata kṛpāniketā ||
सतीं सो दसा सम्भु कै देखी । उर उपजा सन्देह बिसेखी ॥
सङ्कर जगतबंद्य जगदीसा । सुर नर मुनि सब नावहिँ सीसा ॥
satīṃ so dasā sambhu kai dekhī | ura upajā sandeha bisekhī ||
saṅkara jagatabaṃdya jagadīsā | sura nara muni saba nāvahim̐ sīsā ||
तिन्ह नृप-सुतहि कीन्ह परनामा । कहि सच्चिदानन्द परधामा ॥
भये मगन छबि तासु बिलोकी । अजहुँ प्रीति उर रहति न रोकी ॥
tinha nṛpa-sutahi kīnha paranāmā | kahi saccidānanda paradhāmā ||
bhaye magana chabi tāsu bilokī | ajahum̐ prīti ura rahati na rokī ||
ब्रह्म जो ब्यापक बिरज अज, अकल अनीह अभेद ।
सो कि देह धरि होइ नर, जाहि न जानत बेद ॥
brahma jo byāpaka biraja aja, akala anīha abheda |
so ki deha dhari hoi nara, jāhi na jānata beda ||
