असि रघुपति लीला उरगारी । दनुज बिमोहनि जन सुखकारी ॥
जे मति मलिन बिषय बस कामी । प्रभु मोह धरहिँ इमि स्वामी ॥
asi raghupati līlā uragārī | danuja bimohani jana sukhakārī ||
je mati malina biṣaya basa kāmī | prabhu moha dharahim̐ imi svāmī ||

Chapter 73: Delusion lies in the seer, not Rama

What happens in this chapter
Delusion lies in the seer, not Rama
Such is Raghupati's leela, Bhushundi tells Garuda: it bewilders the asuras and gladdens his own people. Those whose minds are soiled and ruled by the senses lay delusion on the Lord. One who has lost his bearings says the sun rose in the west. A man in a boat sees the shore moving and thinks himself still. Such is delusion about Hari; ignorance never touches him even in a dream. The dull, veiled by maya, stubbornly doubt and pin their own ignorance on Rama. Sunk in desire and greed, they lie in a well of darkness. The nirguna form is easy to grasp, the saguna hard, and his deeds puzzle even munis.
नयन-दोष जा कहँ जब होई । पीत बरन ससि कहुँ कह कह साई ॥
जब जेहि दिसि-भ्रम होइ खगेसा । सो कह पच्छिम उयउ दिनेसा ॥
nayana-doṣa jā kaham̐ jaba hoī | pīta barana sasi kahum̐ kaha kaha sāī ||
jaba jehi disi-bhrama hoi khagesā | so kaha pacchima uyau dinesā ||
नौकारूढ़ चलत जग देखा । अचल मोह बस आपुहि लेखा ॥
बालक भ्रमहिं न भ्रमहिं गृहादीं । कहहिँ परस्पर मिथ्याबादी ॥
naukārūr̤ha calata jaga dekhā | acala moha basa āpuhi lekhā ||
bālaka bhramahiṃ na bhramahiṃ gṛhādīṃ | kahahim̐ paraspara mithyābādī ||
हरि विषइक अस मोह बिहङ्गा । सपनेहुँ नहिं अज्ञान प्रसङ्गा ॥
मायाबस मतिमन्द अभागी । हृदयँ जमनिका बहुबिधि लागी ॥
hari viṣaika asa moha bihaṅgā | sapanehum̐ nahiṃ ajñāna prasaṅgā ||
māyābasa matimanda abhāgī | hṛdayam̐ jamanikā bahubidhi lāgī ||
ते सठ हठ बस संसय करहीं । निज अज्ञान राम पर धरहीँ ॥
te saṭha haṭha basa saṃsaya karahīṃ | nija ajñāna rāma para dharahīm̐ ||
काम क्रोध मद लोभ रत, गृहासक्त दुखरूप ।
ते किमि जानहिँ रघुपतिहि, मूढ़ परे तम कूप ॥
kāma krodha mada lobha rata, gṛhāsakta dukharūpa |
te kimi jānahim̐ raghupatihi, mūr̤ha pare tama kūpa ||
निर्गुन रूप सुलभ अति, सगुन जान नहिँ कोइ ।
सुगम अगम नाना चरित, सुनि मुनि मन भ्रम होइ ॥
nirguna rūpa sulabha ati, saguna jāna nahim̐ koi |
sugama agama nānā carita, suni muni mana bhrama hoi ||
