In everything Sita and Rama beholding, I offer obeisance, my hands humbly folding. Give me as your servant a kindly reception, And grant me your favour, forsaking deception. Seeing no other course, such my hapless condition; A beggar my mind is, but king my ambition.
Base minded, my longings yet heavenward winding; Though thirsting for nectar, not even skimmed milk finding. DOHA 8 Though poor be my fortune and great be my longing, Yet of this one thing I am sure, That fair-minded people will hear and find joy, Although base men may mock all the more So with this assurance my heart is inspired, As when in good company ambition is fired. So uncouth be the language, the theme is sublime, it is the story of Rama, bliss given for all time.
Cow may be black, but its milk will be white, and wholesome to all who may share; e songs of the glory of Sita and Rama, are words, good men like to hear. It is skill may give his poetry birth, wise men will say, Else wise comes its true worth. Over to prayer, from her heavenly station, goddess of speech quickly brings inspiration.
The men brought to birth in this age vile and low maybe look like the swan, but behave like the crow. I tell you, therefore, but a very small part; From a little a wise man can well judge the heart. If thinking of all these my prayers with my verses, Then no one who hears me will answer with curses. The wind by its force can set huge mountains swaying, But what would its worth be if tested by weighing?
Tis this that the scriptures have given as the reason For worship in varying manner and season. Upon them falls only his grace, his wrath never. Lost things he restores, to the poor gives protection, The Lord Raghuram, all power and perfection. In this faith the wise praise the Lord and rejoice, By this means making holy and fruitful their voice. On this hope relying, I also adore him, My head at his feet, being humbly before him.
My brother, to sing with the sages his praise Is a way I will walk in with ease all my days. DOHA 13 No matter how broad be the stream, if the ruler Has had a strong bridge thrown across, Then even the most insignificant insect can over it easily pass. The poets who have been, who are and who shall be, By me, without guile, all such honoured may well be,. As dark night by moon and by stars is enlightened All they who this story receive and impart, With true understanding and love in their heart, All faithful to Rama in truth and simplicity, Free from all sin, shall enjoy true felicity.
DOHA 16 Dreaming or waking, if on me the favour Of these heavenly beings should rest, Then all that I say will prove true and my language And writing will be greatly blest. To whose prowess Rama himself gave his witness. Son of the Wind, A fire to the lowest of sin, stoic of knowledge, Within the fair shone of hose mind Dwells Rama with arrow and bow in his hand. CHAUPAI 18 I worship her feet like the lotus in beauty, Whose mercy will make my mind pure for its duty And once more I worship in thought word and deed At the feet of Lord Rama, feet worthy indeed, Whose lotus eyes, snow-like with but one glance, Give joy to men, scattering away mischance.
Ganesh knows its power arr on this relying, He gained the first honour when with the gods vying. Lord Siva himself of its virtue has learned, By this name for him poison to nectar was turned. Bliss bringing like moon at night, like sun at morning Like nectar in taste and contentment imparting; Tortoise-like and serpent-like this earth supporting; To pure souls like bees to the lotus; and dear As both Bair am and Krishna to Yashoda were.
See now that the form must depend on the name, For without it no knowledge of form can one claim. CHAUPAI 22 Repeating this name, into life wakes the saint, Now released from all passion and error and taint, He shares the ineffable bliss of the Lord, Him beyond name and form, beyond blame, beyond word. He who would to deep secret knowledge attain, Should repeat oft this name, thus his goal he will gain. A mystic this name uttering, mind set and still, Magic powers acquires, comes and goes as he will Repeating this name when in suffering and grief.
DOHA 21 The man who has conquered all passion and lives In his true love for Rama His mind, as a fish, in the stream of this name is Purest heavenly nectar is nurse. CHAUPAI 23 Infinite, finite, God in two forms is here, Beyond word, beyond thought, without bath, without peer Far greater than these is the name I dare say, For both forms does the name gather under its sway The wise man and good knows the common mind well, Here it is my own love and him faith that I tell Like two fires one hid and one seen in the fuel These lamps die both found in nature dual, The One Lord Supreme deathless all things indwelling, Full knowledge full truth and full bliss upwelling.
