Sanskrit Original
बिष्नु जो सुर हित नरतनु धारी। सोउ सर्बग्य जथा त्रिपुरारी।। खोजइ सो कि अग्य इव नारी। ग्यानधाम श्रीपति असुरारी।। संभुगिरा पुनि मृषा न होई। सिव सर्बग्य जान सबु कोई।। अस संसय मन भयउ अपारा। होई न हृदयँ प्रबोध प्रचारा।। जद्यपि प्रगट न कहेउ भवानी। हर अंतरजामी सब जानी।। सुनहि सती तव नारि सुभाऊ। संसय अस न धरिअ उर काऊ।। जासु कथा कुभंज रिषि गाई। भगति जासु मैं मुनिहि सुनाई।। सोउ मम इष्टदेव रघुबीरा। सेवत जाहि सदा मुनि धीरा।।

Even Visnu Who takes a human form for the sake of gods, is omniscient like the Slayer of Tripura, Siva. Can He wander in search of His Consort like an ignorant man He who is a repository of knowledge, the Lord of Sri (the goddess of prosperity) and the slayer of demons? The words of Sambhu too cannot be false. Everyone knows that He is all-wise. Thus Her mind was filled with an interminable series of doubts; Her heart could not be pacified by any means. Although Bhavns (Goddess Parvati) did not open Her lips, Lord Hara, Who is the inner controller of all, came to know everything. Look here, Sats, the woman is foremost in you; you should never harbour such a doubt in your mind. He is no other than Rma, the Hero of Raghus race, My beloved Deity, whose story was sung by the jar-born sage Agastya, faith in whom was the subject of the talk I gave to him and whom illumined sages ever wait upon.
