What happens in this chapter
The marks of a true saint
Rama lists them. A saint does not crave sense objects, grieves at another's grief and rejoices at another's joy. He is even-minded, has no enemy, and has given up pride, greed, anger and fear. His heart is tender, he is kind to the poor, and his devotion to me is free of guile. He honours everyone and wants no honour himself; such a one, Bharata, is dear to me as life. He is free of desire, intent on my name, peaceful, humble, simple and friendly to all, loving the feet of the twice-born. He never strays from self-control and never speaks a harsh word. Blame and praise are alike to him and his only attachment is to my feet.
कोमलचित दीनन्ह पर दाया । मन बच क्रम मम भगति अमाया ॥
सबहि, मानप्रद आपु अमानी । भरत प्रान सम मम ते पानी ॥
komalacita dīnanha para dāyā | mana baca krama mama bhagati amāyā ||
sabahi, mānaprada āpu amānī | bharata prāna sama mama te pānī ||
बिगत काम मम नाम परायन । सान्ति बिरति बिनती मुदितायन ॥
सीतलता सरलता मयत्री । द्विज-पद प्रीति धरम जनयत्री ॥
bigata kāma mama nāma parāyana | sānti birati binatī muditāyana ||
sītalatā saralatā mayatrī | dvija-pada prīti dharama janayatrī ||
ये सब लच्छन बसहिँ जासु उर । जानेहु तात, सन्त सन्तत फुर ॥
सम दम नियम नीति नहिं डोलहिँ । परुष बचन कबहूँ नहिँ बोलहिँ ॥
ye saba lacchana basahim̐ jāsu ura | jānehu tāta, santa santata phura ||
sama dama niyama nīti nahiṃ ḍolahim̐ | paruṣa bacana kabahūm̐ nahim̐ bolahim̐ ||
निन्दा अस्तुति उभय सम, ममता मम पद कञ्ज ।
से सज्जन मम प्रानप्रिय, गुन मन्दिर सुख पुञ्ज ॥
nindā astuti ubhaya sama, mamatā mama pada kañja |
se sajjana mama prānapriya, guna mandira sukha puñja ||
