अस बिचारि प्रगटउँ निज मोहू। हरहु नाथ करि जन पर छोहू।। रास नाम कर अमित प्रभावा। संत पुरान उपनिषद गावा।। संतत जपत संभु अबिनासी। सिव भगवान ग्यान गुन रासी।। आकर चारि जीव जग अहहीं। कासीं मरत परम पद लहहीं।। सोपि राम महिमा मुनिराया। सिव उपदेसु करत करि दाया।। रामु कवन प्रभु पूछउँ तोही। कहिअ बुझाइ कृपानिधि मोही।। एक राम अवधेस कुमारा। तिन्ह कर चरित बिदित संसारा।। नारि बिरहँ दुखु लहेउ अपारा। भयहु रोषु रन रावनु मारा।।
asa bicāri pragaṭau nija mōhū. harahu nātha kari jana para chōhū.. rāsa nāma kara amita prabhāvā. saṃta purāna upaniṣada gāvā.. saṃtata japata saṃbhu abināsī. siva bhagavāna gyāna guna rāsī.. ākara cāri jīva jaga ahahīṃ. kāsīṃ marata parama pada lahahīṃ.. sōpi rāma mahimā munirāyā. siva upadēsu karata kari dāyā.. rāmu kavana prabhu pūchau tōhī. kahia bujhāi kṛpānidhi mōhī.. ēka rāma avadhēsa kumārā. tinha kara carita bidita saṃsārā.. nāri birahaom dukhu lahēu apārā. bhayahu rōṣu rana rāvanu mārā..
Remembering this I disclose my folly; dispel it, taking pity on this servant, my lord! The saints as well as the Puranas and the Upani¦ads too declare that the potency of the name Rma is unlimited. The immortal Lord Siva, who is the fountain of joy and a storehouse of wisdom and goodness, incessantly repeats It.There are four broad divisions of living beings in the world; such of them as die in the holy city of Kasi (Varanasi) attain to the highest state. This too marks the glory of Sri Ramas Name, O chief of sages; for it is this very Name that Lord Siva mercifully imparts to the dying soul in Kss. I ask you, my lord, who that Rma is; pray explain to me, O storehouse of compassion. One such Rma is the prince of Ayodhy whose exploits are known throughout the world. Infinite was his sorrow due to the loss of his wife; and flying into a rage he slew Ravana in battle. (1-4)

जैसे मिटै मोर भ्रम भारी। कहहु सो कथा नाथ बिस्तारी।। जागबलिक बोले मुसुकाई। तुम्हहि बिदित रघुपति प्रभुताई।। राममगत तुम्ह मन क्रम बानी। चतुराई तुम्हारी मैं जानी।। चाहहु सुनै राम गुन गूढ़ा। कीन्हिहु प्रस्न मनहुँ अति मूढ़ा।। तात सुनहु सादर मनु लाई। कहउँ राम कै कथा सुहाई।। महामोहु महिषेसु बिसाला। रामकथा कालिका कराला।। रामकथा ससि किरन समाना। संत चकोर करहिं जेहि पाना।। ऐसेइ संसय कीन्ह भवानी। महादेव तब कहा बखानी।।
jaisē miṭai mōra bhrama bhārī. kahahu sō kathā nātha bistārī.. jāgabalika bōlē musukāī. tumhahi bidita raghupati prabhutāī.. rāmamagata tumha mana krama bānī. caturāī tumhārī maiṃ jānī.. cāhahu sunai rāma guna gūḍhaā. kīnhihu prasna manahu ati mūḍhaā.. tāta sunahu sādara manu lāī. kahau rāma kai kathā suhāī.. mahāmōhu mahiṣēsu bisālā. rāmakathā kālikā karālā.. rāmakathā sasi kirana samānā. saṃta cakōra karahiṃ jēhi pānā.. aisēi saṃsaya kīnha bhavānī. mahādēva taba kahā bakhānī..
Tell me in detail, my master, the story whereby my overwhelming perplexity may be overcome. Yajnavalkya smilingly said, The glory of the Lord of Raghus is already known to you. You are a devotee of Rma in thought, word and deed; I have come to know your ingenuity. You wish to hear an account of the hidden virtues of Rma; that is why you have questioned me as if you were quite ignorant. Listen, then, with devout attention, my child, while I narrate the beautiful story of Rma. Appalling ignorance is the gigantic demon Mahi¦sura (so-called because he was endowed with the form of a buffalo); while the narrative of Rma is the dread Klik* (who made short work of the demon). The story of Rma is like the moonbeams that are drunk in by Cakora bird in the form of saints. A similar doubt was expressed by no less a personage than Bhavns (Goddess Parvati), and the great God Siva then expounded the matter in detail . (1-4)

भरद्वाज मुनि बसहिं प्रयागा। तिन्हहि राम पद अति अनुरागा।। तापस सम दम दया निधाना। परमारथ पथ परम सुजाना।। माघ मकरगत रबि जब होई। तीरथपतिहिं आव सब कोई।। देव दनुज किंनर नर श्रेनी। सादर मज्जहिं सकल त्रिबेनीं।। पूजहि माधव पद जलजाता। परसि अखय बटु हरषहिं गाता।। भरद्वाज आश्रम अति पावन। परम रम्य मुनिबर मन भावन।। तहाँ होइ मुनि रिषय समाजा। जाहिं जे मज्जन तीरथराजा।। मज्जहिं प्रात समेत उछाहा। कहहिं परसपर हरि गुन गाहा।।

The sage Bharadvja lives in Prayga; he is extremely devoted to the feet of Sri Rama. A great ascetic and an embodiment of self-restraint, composure of mind and compassion, he is highly advanced on the spiritual path. In the month of Mgha, when the sun enters the sign of Capricorn, everyone visits the chief of holy places, Prayga. Troops of gods and demons, Kinnaras (demigods) and men, all devoutly bathe in the triple stream of the Ganga, Yamun and Sarasvats. They worship the lotus feet of God Vindumdhava (the presiding deity of Prayga); and the touch of the immortal banyan tree sends a thrill into their limbs. The hermitage of Bharadvja is a most sacred spot, exceedingly charming and attractive even to great hermits and the haunt of sages and seers who go to bathe at that holiest of holy places. At daybreak they all perform their ablutions with religious fervour and then converse together on the virtues of Sri Hari. (1-4)

एहि प्रकार भरि माघ नहाहीं। पुनि सब निज निज आश्रम जाहीं।। प्रति संबत अति होइ अनंदा। मकर मज्जि गवनहिं मुनिबृंदा।। एक बार भरि मकर नहाए। सब मुनीस आश्रमन्ह सिधाए।। जगबालिक मुनि परम बिबेकी। भरव्दाज राखे पद टेकी।। सादर चरन सरोज पखारे। अति पुनीत आसन बैठारे।। करि पूजा मुनि सुजस बखानी। बोले अति पुनीत मृदु बानी।। नाथ एक संसउ बड़ मोरें। करगत बेदतत्व सबु तोरें।। कहत सो मोहि लागत भय लाजा। जौ न कहउँ बड़ होइ अकाजा।।
ēhi prakāra bhari māgha nahāhīṃ. puni saba nija nija āśrama jāhīṃ.. prati saṃbata ati hōi anaṃdā. makara majji gavanahiṃ munibṛṃdā.. ēka bāra bhari makara nahāē. saba munīsa āśramanha sidhāē.. jagabālika muni parama bibēkī. bharavdāja rākhē pada ṭēkī.. sādara carana sarōja pakhārē. ati punīta āsana baiṭhārē.. kari pūjā muni sujasa bakhānī. bōlē ati punīta mṛdu bānī.. nātha ēka saṃsau baḍa mōrēṃ. karagata bēdatatva sabu tōrēṃ.. kahata sō mōhi lāgata bhaya lājā. jau na kahau baḍa hōi akājā..
In this way they bathe for the whole month of Magha and then return each to his hermitage. There is a great rejoicing every year and having performed their ablutions while the sun stays in Capricorn the hosts of sages disperse. Having bathed on one occasion for the whole period of the suns stay in Capricorn when all the great sages had left for their hermitages, Bharadvja clasped by the feet and detained the supremely wise saint Yajnavalkya. He reverently washed the latters lotus feet and installed him on a most sacred seat. And extolling his fair renown with religious ceremony, Bharadvja spoke in mild and reverential tones, A grave doubt haunts my mind, holy sir ! and the whole mystery of the Vedas stands revealed to you. I am afraid and ashamed to utter the doubt; and I lose a great opportunity if I keep it back. (1-4)

Is it this very, Rma, my lord, or some one else whose name the Slayer of the demon Tripura, Siva, ever repeats? You are an embodiment of truth and omniscient; so ponder well and give me your considered reply. (46)

The saints lay down the rule, and the Vedas as well as the Puranas and sages too loudly proclaim, that pure wisdom cannot dawn in the heart, should one keep anything concealed from ones spiritual preceptor. (45)

ब्रह्म निरूपम धरम बिधि बरनहिं तत्त्व बिभाग। कहहिं भगति भगवंत कै संजुत ग्यान बिराग।।44।।

They discuss the nature of Brahma (the Supreme Eternal), the precepts of religion and the classification of fundamental entities and expatiate on Devotion to the Lord coupled with spiritual enlightenment and dispassion. (44)
