तदपि एक मैं कहउँ उपाई । होइ करइ जौँ दैव सहाई ॥
जस घर मैं बरनेउँ तुम्ह पाहीँ । मिलिहि उमहि तस संसय नाहीँ ॥
tadapi eka maiṃ kahaum̐ upāī | hoi karai jaum̐ daiva sahāī ||
jasa ghara maiṃ baraneum̐ tumha pāhīm̐ | milihi umahi tasa saṃsaya nāhīm̐ ||

What happens in this chapter
The great are not stained by faults
Narada still offers one remedy, which will work if providence helps. The husband he described will surely come to Uma, and every 'fault' he listed he has seen in Shiva. If the marriage is with Shankara, all will call the faults virtues. Hari sleeps on a bed of serpents, yet the wise find no fault in him. The sun and fire consume every kind of thing, yet nobody calls them low. Good and bad water alike flow in the Ganga, yet no one calls her impure. For the mighty there is no fault, just as with the sun, fire and Ganga. But if men proud of their own judgment try to copy them, they fall into hell for a whole kalpa. Can a jiva ever be equal to Ishvara?
जे जे बर के दोष बखाने । ते सब सिव पहिँ मैं अनुमाने ॥
जौँ बिबाह सङ्कर सन होई । दोषउ गुन सम कह सब कोई ॥
je je bara ke doṣa bakhāne | te saba siva pahim̐ maiṃ anumāne ||
jaum̐ bibāha saṅkara sana hoī | doṣau guna sama kaha saba koī ||
जौँ अहि-सेज सयन हरि करहीं । बुध कछु तिन्ह कर दोष न धरहीँ ॥
भानु-कृसानु सर्ब-रस खाहीँ । तिन्ह कहँ मन्द कहत कोउ नाहीँ ॥
jaum̐ ahi-seja sayana hari karahīṃ | budha kachu tinha kara doṣa na dharahīm̐ ||
bhānu-kṛsānu sarba-rasa khāhīm̐ | tinha kaham̐ manda kahata kou nāhīm̐ ||
सुभ अरु असुभ सलिल सब बहई । सुरसरि कोउ अपुनीत न कहई ॥
समरथ कहँ नहिँ दोष गोसाँई । रवि पावक सुरसरि की नाँई ॥
subha aru asubha salila saba bahaī | surasari kou apunīta na kahaī ||
samaratha kaham̐ nahim̐ doṣa gosām̐ī | ravi pāvaka surasari kī nām̐ī ||
जौँ ऐसहि हिसिषा करहिँ, नर जड़ि विवेक अभिमान ।
परहिँ कलप भरि नरक महँ, जीव कि ईस समान ॥
jaum̐ aisahi hisiṣā karahim̐, nara jar̤i viveka abhimāna |
parahim̐ kalapa bhari naraka maham̐, jīva ki īsa samāna ||
