जदपि नाथ बहु अवगुन मोरें । सेवक प्रभुहि परइ जनि मारे ॥
नाथ जीव तव मायाँ मोहा । सो निस्तरइ तुम्हारेहिं छोहा ॥
jadapi nātha bahu avaguna moreṃ | sevaka prabhuhi parai jani māre ||
nātha jīva tava māyām̐ mohā | so nistarai tumhārehiṃ chohā ||

What happens in this chapter
More dear than Lakshmana: the one-pointed servant
Hanuman pleads on. I have many faults, Lord, but let the servant not slip from his master's mind. The soul bewildered by Your maya crosses over only by Your grace. I know no method of worship; a servant rests on his master as a child on its mother. He falls at Rama's feet, shows his own form, and love floods him. Shri Rama lifts him to His chest and cools him with His own tears. Do not feel small, Kapi; you are twice as dear to Me as Lakshmana. All call Me even-eyed, yet the servant with no other refuge is dear to Me. The doha says who that is: one whose understanding never wavers that I am the servant, and the moving and unmoving world is my Master's form.
ता पर मैं रघुबीर दोहाई । जानउँ नहिँ कछु भजन उपाई ॥
सेवक सुत पति मातु भरोसें । रहइ असोच बनइ प्रभु पोसें ॥
tā para maiṃ raghubīra dohāī | jānaum̐ nahim̐ kachu bhajana upāī ||
sevaka suta pati mātu bharoseṃ | rahai asoca banai prabhu poseṃ ||
अस कहि परेउ, चरन अकुलाई । निज-तनु प्रगटि प्रीति उर छाई ॥
तब रघुपति उठाइ उर लावा । निज-लोचन-जल सींचि जुड़ावा ॥
asa kahi pareu, carana akulāī | nija-tanu pragaṭi prīti ura chāī ||
taba raghupati uṭhāi ura lāvā | nija-locana-jala sīṃci jur̤āvā ||
सुनु कपि जियँ मानसि जनि ऊना । तैं मम प्रिय लछिमन ते दूना ॥
समदरसी मोहि कह सब कोऊ । सेवक प्रिय अनन्यगति सोऊ ॥
sunu kapi jiyam̐ mānasi jani ūnā | taiṃ mama priya lachimana te dūnā ||
samadarasī mohi kaha saba koū | sevaka priya ananyagati soū ||
सो अनन्य जाकें असि, मति न टरइ हनुमन्त ।
मैं सेवक सचराचर, रूप स्वामि भगवन्त ॥
so ananya jākeṃ asi, mati na ṭarai hanumanta |
maiṃ sevaka sacarācara, rūpa svāmi bhagavanta ||
