सुनहु सखा निज कहउँ सुभाऊ । जान भुसुंडि सम्भु गिरिजाऊँ ॥
जौं नर होइ चराचर द्रोही । आवइ सभय सरन तकि मोही ॥
sunahu sakhā nija kahaum̐ subhāū | jāna bhusuṃḍi sambhu girijāūm̐ ||
jauṃ nara hoi carācara drohī | āvai sabhaya sarana taki mohī ||

What happens in this chapter
Rama tells who is dear to Him
Hear my own nature, friend, says Rama, which Bhushundi, Shambhu and Girija know. If one who has wronged all creation comes to Me in fear and drops pride, delusion and guile, I soon make him like a sadhu. Mother, father, brother, son, wife, body, wealth, home, friends: one who gathers the threads of attachment to all of them, twists them into a cord and ties his mind to My feet; who sees all alike and is free of desire, joy, grief and fear, lives in My heart as wealth in a miser's. Saints like you are dear to Me. Worshippers of the Lord with form, devoted to others' good and firm in dharma, are dear to Me as life.
तजि मद मोह कपट छल नाना । करउँ सदा तेहि साधु समाना ॥
जननी जनक बन्धु सुत दारा । तन धन भवन सुह्रद परिवारा ॥
taji mada moha kapaṭa chala nānā | karaum̐ sadā tehi sādhu samānā ||
jananī janaka bandhu suta dārā | tana dhana bhavana suhrada parivārā ||
सब के ममता ताग बटोरी । मम पद मनहि बाँध बरि डोरी ॥
समदरसी इच्छा कछु नाहीँ । हरष सोक भय नहिँ मन माहीँ ॥
saba ke mamatā tāga baṭorī | mama pada manahi bām̐dha bari ḍorī ||
samadarasī icchā kachu nāhīm̐ | haraṣa soka bhaya nahim̐ mana māhīm̐ ||
अस सज्जन मम उर बस कैसें । लोभी हृदयँ बसइ धनु जैसें ॥
तुम्ह सारिखे सन्त प्रिय मोरें । धरउँ देह नहिँ आन निहोरें ॥
asa sajjana mama ura basa kaiseṃ | lobhī hṛdayam̐ basai dhanu jaiseṃ ||
tumha sārikhe santa priya moreṃ | dharaum̐ deha nahim̐ āna nihoreṃ ||
सगुन उपासक पर-हित, निरत नीति दृढ़ नेम ।
ते नर प्रान समान मम, जिन्ह कें द्विज-पद प्रेम ॥
saguna upāsaka para-hita, nirata nīti dṛr̤ha nema |
te nara prāna samāna mama, jinha keṃ dvija-pada prema ||
