Wandering through many universes, Bhushundi tells Garuda, it felt as if a hundred kalpas passed. Back at his ashram, hearing that his Lord was born in Avadh, he rose and rushed there in a flood of love, to see the birth festival he described before. Inside Rama's belly he saw many worlds, and there again saw Rama, Lord of maya. He kept reflecting, his mind clouded with delusion, yet all of it had taken only two ghadis. Seeing him distressed, Raghubira laughed, and with that laugh the crow came out of his mouth. Then Rama began the same childish play with him again, and though Bhushundi reasoned with himself in a crore ways, his mind found no rest.
भ्रमत मोहि ब्रह्मांड अनेका । बीते मनहुँ कलप सत एका ॥
फिरत फिरत निज आश्रम आयउँ । तहँ पुनि रहि कछु काल गवाँयउँ ॥
bhramata mohi brahmāṃḍa anekā | bīte manahum̐ kalapa sata ekā ||
phirata phirata nija āśrama āyaum̐ | taham̐ puni rahi kachu kāla gavām̐yaum̐ ||
निज प्रभु जनम अवध सुनि पायउँ । निर्भर प्रेम हरषि उठि धायउँ ॥
देखउँ जन्म-महोत्सव जाई । जेहि बिधि प्रथम कहा मैं गाई ॥
nija prabhu janama avadha suni pāyaum̐ | nirbhara prema haraṣi uṭhi dhāyaum̐ ||
dekhaum̐ janma-mahotsava jāī | jehi bidhi prathama kahā maiṃ gāī ||
राम उदर देखेउँ जग नाना । देखत बनइ न जाइ बखाना ॥
तहँ पुनि देखेउँ राम सुजाना । माया पति कृपाल भगवाना ॥
rāma udara dekheum̐ jaga nānā | dekhata banai na jāi bakhānā ||
taham̐ puni dekheum̐ rāma sujānā | māyā pati kṛpāla bhagavānā ||
करउँ बिचार बहोरी बहोरी । मोह कलिल व्यापित मति मोरी ॥
उभय घरी महँ मैं सब देखा । भयउँ भ्रमित मन मोह बिसेखा ॥
karaum̐ bicāra bahorī bahorī | moha kalila vyāpita mati morī ||
ubhaya gharī maham̐ maiṃ saba dekhā | bhayaum̐ bhramita mana moha bisekhā ||
देखि कपाल बिकल मोहि, बिहँसे तब रघुबीर ।
बिहँसतहीं सुख बाहेर, आयउँ सुनु मतिधीर ॥
dekhi kapāla bikala mohi, biham̐se taba raghubīra |
biham̐satahīṃ sukha bāhera, āyaum̐ sunu matidhīra ||
सोइ लरिकाई मो सन, करन लगे पुनि राम ।
कोटि भाँति समुझावउँ, मन न लहइ बिश्राम ॥
soi larikāī mo sana, karana lage puni rāma |
koṭi bhām̐ti samujhāvaum̐, mana na lahai biśrāma ||
