त्रिजग देव नर जोइ तनु धरउँ । तहँ तहँ राम भजन अनुसरऊँ ॥
एक सूल मोहि बिसर न काऊ । गुर कर कोमल सील सुभाऊ ॥
trijaga deva nara joi tanu dharaum̐ | taham̐ taham̐ rāma bhajana anusaraūm̐ ||
eka sūla mohi bisara na kāū | gura kara komala sīla subhāū ||

A brahmin boy's longing leads to Lomasha
Kakbhushundi tells Garuda that in every body, beast, deva or man, he kept up Rama's bhajan, though one ache never left him: the memory of his guru's gentle nature. His last human birth was as a brahmin's son. As a child he played Raghunayaka's leelas with other boys. His father tried to teach him, but nothing appealed; who would leave the wish-giving cow to tend a donkey? When his parents died he went to the forest, bowing at every muni's ashram and asking for Rama's story. One longing grew: to see Rama's lotus feet. The munis told him God is in all beings, but formless teaching did not please him. Under a banyan on Meru he found Lomasha Muni and asked him how to worship Brahman with form.
चरम-देह द्विज के मैं पाई । सुर-दुर्लभ पुरान श्रुति गाई ॥
खेलउँ तहाँ बालकन्ह मीला । करउँ सकल रघुनायक लीला ॥
carama-deha dvija ke maiṃ pāī | sura-durlabha purāna śruti gāī ||
khelaum̐ tahām̐ bālakanha mīlā | karaum̐ sakala raghunāyaka līlā ||
प्रौढ़ भएँ मोहि पिता पढ़ावा । समझउँ सुनउँ गुनउँ नहिँ भावा ॥
मन तें सकल बासना भागी । केवल राम चरन लय लागीं ॥
praur̤ha bhaem̐ mohi pitā par̤hāvā | samajhaum̐ sunaum̐ gunaum̐ nahim̐ bhāvā ||
mana teṃ sakala bāsanā bhāgī | kevala rāma carana laya lāgīṃ ||
कहु खगेस अस कवन अभागी । खरी सेव सुरधेनुहि त्यागी ॥
प्रेम मगन मोहि कछु न सोहाई । हारेउ पिता पढ़ाई पढ़ाई ॥
kahu khagesa asa kavana abhāgī | kharī seva suradhenuhi tyāgī ||
prema magana mohi kachu na sohāī | hāreu pitā par̤hāī par̤hāī ||
भये काल बल जब पितु माता । मैं बन गयउँ भजन जनत्राता ॥
जहँ जहँ बिपिन मुनीस्वर पावउँ । आश्रम जाइ जाइ सिरु नावउँ ॥
bhaye kāla bala jaba pitu mātā | maiṃ bana gayaum̐ bhajana janatrātā ||
jaham̐ jaham̐ bipina munīsvara pāvaum̐ | āśrama jāi jāi siru nāvaum̐ ||
बूझत तिन्हहिं राम गुन गाहा । कहहिं सुनउँ हरषित खगनाहा ॥
सुनत फिरउँ हरि गुन अनुबादा । अब्याहत-गति सम्भु प्रसादा ॥
būjhata tinhahiṃ rāma guna gāhā | kahahiṃ sunaum̐ haraṣita khaganāhā ||
sunata phiraum̐ hari guna anubādā | abyāhata-gati sambhu prasādā ||
छूटी त्रिविधि ईषना गाढ़ी । एक लालसा उर अति बाढ़ी ॥
राम-चरन-बारिज जब देखौं । तब निज जन्म सुफल करि लेखौं ॥
chūṭī trividhi īṣanā gār̤hī | eka lālasā ura ati bār̤hī ||
rāma-carana-bārija jaba dekhauṃ | taba nija janma suphala kari lekhauṃ ||
जेहि पूछउँ सोइ मुनि अस कहई । ईस्वर सर्व भूत-सय अहई ॥
निर्गुन मत नहिँ मोहि सुहाई । सगुन ब्रह्म रति उर अधिकाई ॥
jehi pūchaum̐ soi muni asa kahaī | īsvara sarva bhūta-saya ahaī ||
nirguna mata nahim̐ mohi suhāī | saguna brahma rati ura adhikāī ||
गुरु के बचन सुरति करि, राम चरन मन लाग ।
रघुपति जस गावत फिरउँ, छन छन नव अनुराग ॥
guru ke bacana surati kari, rāma carana mana lāga |
raghupati jasa gāvata phiraum̐, chana chana nava anurāga ||
मेरु सिखर बट छायाँ, मुनि लोमस आसीन ।
देखि चरन सिर नायउँ, बचन कहेउँ अति दीन ॥
meru sikhara baṭa chāyām̐, muni lomasa āsīna |
dekhi carana sira nāyaum̐, bacana kaheum̐ ati dīna ||
सुनि सम बचन बिनीत मृदु, मुनि कृपाल खगराज ।
मोहि सादर पूछत भए, द्विज आयउ केहि काज ॥
suni sama bacana binīta mṛdu, muni kṛpāla khagarāja |
mohi sādara pūchata bhae, dvija āyau kehi kāja ||
तब मैं कहा कृपानिधि, तुम्ह सर्बज्ञ सुजान ।
सगुन ब्रह्म अवराधन, मोहि कहहु भगवान ॥
taba maiṃ kahā kṛpānidhi, tumha sarbajña sujāna |
saguna brahma avarādhana, mohi kahahu bhagavāna ||
