ज्ञान विवेक बिरति विज्ञाना । मुनि दुर्लभ गुन जे जग जाना ॥
आजु देउँ सब संसय नाहीं । माँगु जो तोहि मान रन माहीं ॥
jñāna viveka birati vijñānā | muni durlabha guna je jaga jānā ||
āju deum̐ saba saṃsaya nāhīṃ | mām̐gu jo tohi māna rana māhīṃ ||

What happens in this chapter
Bhushundi asks only for pure bhakti
Rama goes on offering the crow jnana, dispassion, vijnana and every quality munis find hard to win. Hearing this, Bhushundi tells Garuda, his love grew and he began to reason inwardly. The Lord has offered every joy but has not offered his own bhakti. Without devotion, what are all these virtues and joys? Like many dishes without salt. Of what use is any happiness without bhajan? So he spoke. Lord, if you are pleased and will grant a boon, show me grace and love. Give me your unbroken, pure bhakti, which the Shruti and Puranas sing, which yogis seek. Wish-tree of devotees, ocean of mercy, give me that bhakti, Rama.
सुनि प्रभु बचन अधिक अनुरागेउँ । मन अनुमान करना लागेउँ ॥
प्रभु कह देन सकल सुख सही । भगति आपनी देन न कही ॥
suni prabhu bacana adhika anurāgeum̐ | mana anumāna karanā lāgeum̐ ||
prabhu kaha dena sakala sukha sahī | bhagati āpanī dena na kahī ||
भगति हीन गुन सब सुख कैसे । लवन बिना बहु बिञ्जन जैसे ॥
भजन हीन सुख कवने काजा । अस बिचारि बोलेउँ खगराजा ॥
bhagati hīna guna saba sukha kaise | lavana binā bahu biñjana jaise ||
bhajana hīna sukha kavane kājā | asa bicāri boleum̐ khagarājā ||
जौँ प्रभु होइ प्रसन्न बर देहू । मो पर करहु कृपा अरु नेहू ॥
मन-भावत बर माँगउँ स्वामी । तुम्ह उदार उर अन्तरजामी ॥
jaum̐ prabhu hoi prasanna bara dehū | mo para karahu kṛpā aru nehū ||
mana-bhāvata bara mām̐gaum̐ svāmī | tumha udāra ura antarajāmī ||
अबिरल भगति बिसुध्द तव, श्रुति पुरान जो गाव ।
जेहि खोजत जोगीस मुनि, प्रभु प्रसाद कोउ पाव ॥
abirala bhagati bisudhda tava, śruti purāna jo gāva |
jehi khojata jogīsa muni, prabhu prasāda kou pāva ||
भगत-कल्पतरु प्रनत हित, कृपा सिन्धु सुख धाम ।
सोइ निज भगति मोहि प्रभु, देहु दया करि राम ॥
bhagata-kalpataru pranata hita, kṛpā sindhu sukha dhāma |
soi nija bhagati mohi prabhu, dehu dayā kari rāma ||
