एहि बिधि सकल जीव जग रोगी । सोक हरष भय प्रीति बियोगी ॥
मानक रोग कछुक मैं गाये । हैं सब कें लखि बिरलेन्ह पाये ॥
ehi bidhi sakala jīva jaga rogī | soka haraṣa bhaya prīti biyogī ||
mānaka roga kachuka maiṃ gāye | haiṃ saba keṃ lakhi biralenha pāye ||

The cure: Raghupati's bhakti, the life-giving herb
Kakbhushundi tells Garuda that every creature is sick so, swinging between grief and joy, fear and longing. Few notice these diseases, and fed by sense objects they sprout even in munis' hearts. They are cured when Rama's grace arranges it: the true guru is physician, faith in his words the regimen, Raghupati's bhakti the life-giving herb, taken with faith. Health shows as growing detachment and fresh hunger for good sense. Shiva, Brahma, Shuka, the Sanakas and Narada agree: love Rama's feet. Fire may come from snow, he says, but no one turned from Rama finds happiness; oil may come from sand, but none crosses without Hari's devotees.
जाने से छीजहिं कछु पापी । नास न पावहिं जन परितापी ॥
विषय कुपथ्य पाइ अङ्कुरे । मुनिहु हृदयँ का नर बापुरे ॥
jāne se chījahiṃ kachu pāpī | nāsa na pāvahiṃ jana paritāpī ||
viṣaya kupathya pāi aṅkure | munihu hṛdayam̐ kā nara bāpure ||
रामकृपा नाहिं सब रोगा । जौँ एहि भाँति बनइ संयोगा ॥
सदगुरु बैद बचन बिस्वासा । सञ्जम यह न विषय के आसा ॥
rāmakṛpā nāhiṃ saba rogā | jaum̐ ehi bhām̐ti banai saṃyogā ||
sadaguru baida bacana bisvāsā | sañjama yaha na viṣaya ke āsā ||
रघुपति भगति सजीवन मूरी । अनूपान श्रद्धा मति पूरी ॥
एहि विधि भलेहिं सो रोग नसाहीं । नाहिँ त जतन कोटि नहिं जाहीं ॥
raghupati bhagati sajīvana mūrī | anūpāna śraddhā mati pūrī ||
ehi vidhi bhalehiṃ so roga nasāhīṃ | nāhim̐ ta jatana koṭi nahiṃ jāhīṃ ||
जानिय तब मन बिरुज गोसाँई । जब उर बल बिराग अधिकाई ॥
सुमति छुधा बाढइ नित नई । विषय आस दुर्बलता गई ॥
jāniya taba mana biruja gosām̐ī | jaba ura bala birāga adhikāī ||
sumati chudhā bāḍhai nita naī | viṣaya āsa durbalatā gaī ||
बिमल ज्ञान जल जब सो नहाई । तब रह राम भगति उर छाई ॥
सिव अज सुक सनकादिक नारद । जे मुनि ब्रह्म बिचार बिसारद ॥
bimala jñāna jala jaba so nahāī | taba raha rāma bhagati ura chāī ||
siva aja suka sanakādika nārada | je muni brahma bicāra bisārada ||
सब कर मत खगनायक एहा । करिय राम-पद पङ्कज नेहा ॥
श्रुति पुरान सब ग्रंथ कहाहीं । रघुपति भगति बिना सुख नाहीं ॥
saba kara mata khaganāyaka ehā | kariya rāma-pada paṅkaja nehā ||
śruti purāna saba graṃtha kahāhīṃ | raghupati bhagati binā sukha nāhīṃ ||
कमठ पीठ जामहिं बरु बारा । बन्ध्या-सुत बरु काहुहि मारा ॥
फूलहिँ नभ बरु बहुबिधि फूला । जीव न लह सुख हरि प्रतिकूला ॥
kamaṭha pīṭha jāmahiṃ baru bārā | bandhyā-suta baru kāhuhi mārā ||
phūlahim̐ nabha baru bahubidhi phūlā | jīva na laha sukha hari pratikūlā ||
तृषा जाइ बरु मृगजल पाना । बरु जामहिं सस सीस बिषाना ॥
अन्धकार बरु रबिहि नसावै । राम बिमुख न जीव सुख पावै ॥
tṛṣā jāi baru mṛgajala pānā | baru jāmahiṃ sasa sīsa biṣānā ||
andhakāra baru rabihi nasāvai | rāma bimukha na jīva sukha pāvai ||
हिम से अनल प्रगट बरु होई । बिमुख राम सुख पाव न कोई ॥
hima se anala pragaṭa baru hoī | bimukha rāma sukha pāva na koī ||
उबारि मथें घृत होइ बरु, सिकता ते बरु तेल ।
बिनु हरिजन न भव तरिअ, यह सिद्धान्त अपेल ॥
ubāri matheṃ ghṛta hoi baru, sikatā te baru tela |
binu harijana na bhava taria, yaha siddhānta apela ||
मसकहि करइ बिंरंचि प्रभु, अजहि मसक तें हीन ।
अस बिचारि तजि संसय, रामहिं भजहिँ प्रबीन ॥
masakahi karai biṃraṃci prabhu, ajahi masaka teṃ hīna |
asa bicāri taji saṃsaya, rāmahiṃ bhajahim̐ prabīna ||
विनिच्श्रितं वदामि ते न अन्यथा बचांसि मे ।
हरिं नरा भजन्ति येऽतिदुस्तरं तरन्ति ते ॥
vinicśritaṃ vadāmi te na anyathā bacāṃsi me |
hariṃ narā bhajanti ye'tidustaraṃ taranti te ||
