तुम्ह सर्वज्ञ तन्य तम पारा । सुमति सुसील सरल आचारा ॥
ज्ञान बिरति विज्ञान निवासा । रघुनायक के तुम्ह प्रिय दासा ॥
tumha sarvajña tanya tama pārā | sumati susīla sarala ācārā ||
jñāna birati vijñāna nivāsā | raghunāyaka ke tumha priya dāsā ||

What happens in this chapter
Garuda asks why the crow body, why deathless
Garuda puts his questions to Kakbhushundi. You are all-knowing and beyond darkness, gentle and straight, a home of knowledge and detachment, a dear servant of Raghunayaka. Why then did you take a crow's body? Where, sky-farer, did you find this lake of Rama's deeds? He adds a doubt. He has heard from Shiva that Bhushundi survives even the great dissolution, and the Lord never speaks falsely. Yet nagas, men and devas are all Kala's food; Kala ends countless universes and none passes beyond it. Why does it not touch you? Is it knowledge, or the strength of yoga? My delusion fled at your ashram, he says; tell me the cause.
कारन कवन देह यह पाई । तात सकल मोहि कहहु बुझाई ॥
राम चरित सर सुन्दर स्वामी । पायहु कहाँ कहहु नभगामी ॥
kārana kavana deha yaha pāī | tāta sakala mohi kahahu bujhāī ||
rāma carita sara sundara svāmī | pāyahu kahām̐ kahahu nabhagāmī ||
नाथ सुना मैं अस सिव पाहीँ । महा प्रलयहुँ नास तब नाहीँ ॥
मुधा बचन नहिं ईस्वर कहई । सोउ मोरें मन संसय अहई ॥
nātha sunā maiṃ asa siva pāhīm̐ | mahā pralayahum̐ nāsa taba nāhīm̐ ||
mudhā bacana nahiṃ īsvara kahaī | sou moreṃ mana saṃsaya ahaī ||
अग जग जीव नाग नर देवा । नाथ सकल जग काल कलेवा ॥
अंड कटाह अमित लय कारी । काल सदा दुरतिक्रम भारी ॥
aga jaga jīva nāga nara devā | nātha sakala jaga kāla kalevā ||
aṃḍa kaṭāha amita laya kārī | kāla sadā duratikrama bhārī ||
तुम्हहिं न ब्यापत काल, अति कराल कारन कवन ।
मोहि सो कहहु कृपाल, ज्ञान प्रभाव कि जोग बल ॥
tumhahiṃ na byāpata kāla, ati karāla kārana kavana |
mohi so kahahu kṛpāla, jñāna prabhāva ki joga bala ||
प्रभु तव आश्रम आयउँ, मोर मोह भ्रम भाग ।
कारन कवन सो नाथ सब, कहहु सहित अनुराग ॥
prabhu tava āśrama āyaum̐, mora moha bhrama bhāga |
kārana kavana so nātha saba, kahahu sahita anurāga ||
