कहेउँ नाथ हरि चरित अनूपा । व्यास समास स्वमति अनुरूपा ॥
श्रुति सिद्धान्त-इहइ उरगारी । राम भजिअ सब काम बिसारी ॥

śruti siddhānta-ihai uragārī | rāma bhajia saba kāma bisārī ||

What happens in this chapter
Bhushundi closes his telling, blessed by satsang
A Sanskrit shloka opens the group, labelled in our file as part of the previous doha: what I say is settled; those who worship Hari cross what is hardest to cross. Kakbhushundi tells Garuda he has sung Hari's deeds, at length and in brief, as his understanding allowed. The Shruti's conclusion is to worship Rama, setting aside every other desire. Whom else to serve, when the Lord loves even a fool like him? Garuda, himself a form of knowledge, asked only out of kindness, so that this holy Ramkatha might be told. A moment's satsang is rare. Lowest of birds, he has been made pure by the Lord, and today he is blessed with saints' company.
प्रभु रघुपति तजि सेइअ काही । मोहि से सठ पर ममता जाही ॥
तुम्ह विज्ञानरूप नहिं मोहा । नाथ कीन्ह मो पर अति छोहा ॥
prabhu raghupati taji seia kāhī | mohi se saṭha para mamatā jāhī ||
tumha vijñānarūpa nahiṃ mohā | nātha kīnha mo para ati chohā ||
पूछेहु रामकथा अति पावनि । सुक सनकादि सम्भु मन भावनि ॥
सत सङ्गति दुर्लभ संसारा । निमिष दंड भरि एकउ बारा ॥
pūchehu rāmakathā ati pāvani | suka sanakādi sambhu mana bhāvani ||
sata saṅgati durlabha saṃsārā | nimiṣa daṃḍa bhari ekau bārā ||
देखु गरुड़ निज हृदयँ बिचारी । मैं रघुबीर भजन अधिकारी ॥
सकुनाधम सब भाँति अपावन । प्रभु मोहि कीन्ह बिदित जग पावन ॥
dekhu garur̤a nija hṛdayam̐ bicārī | maiṃ raghubīra bhajana adhikārī ||
sakunādhama saba bhām̐ti apāvana | prabhu mohi kīnha bidita jaga pāvana ||
आजु धन्य मैं धन्य अति, जद्यपि सब विधि हीन ।
निज जन जानि राम मोहि, सन्त समागम दीन ॥
āju dhanya maiṃ dhanya ati, jadyapi saba vidhi hīna |
nija jana jāni rāma mohi, santa samāgama dīna ||
नाथ जथामति भाखेउँ, राखेउँ नहिं कछु गोइ ।
चरित सिन्धु रघुनायक, थाह कि पावइ कोइ ॥
nātha jathāmati bhākheum̐, rākheum̐ nahiṃ kachu goi |
carita sindhu raghunāyaka, thāha ki pāvai koi ||
