Sanskrit Original
जौं अनीह ब्यापक बिभु कोऊ। कबहु बुझाइ नाथ मोहि सोऊ।। अग्य जानि रिस उर जनि धरहू। जेहि बिधि मोह मिटै सोइ करहू।। मै बन दीखि राम प्रभुताई। अति भय बिकल न तुम्हहि सुनाई।। तदपि मलिन मन बोधु न आवा। सो फलु भली भाँति हम पावा।। अजहूँ कछु संसउ मन मोरे। करहु कृपा बिनवउँ कर जोरें।। प्रभु तब मोहि बहु भाँति प्रबोधा। नाथ सो समुझि करहु जनि क्रोधा।। तब कर अस बिमोह अब नाहीं। रामकथा पर रुचि मन माहीं।। कहहु पुनीत राम गुन गाथा। भुजगराज भूषन सुरनाथा।।

"If, my lord, there is any other desireless, all-pervading and all-powerful Brahma, instruct me about the same. Be not angry at my folly, but take steps to wipe out my ignorance. In the wood (in my previous birth) I witnessed Sri Rama's glory, although I was too awestricken to tell You. Yet, my mind was so impure that I did not understand, and I reaped a good return for my folly. Some doubt still lingers in my mind. Be gracious to me, I implore You with joined palms. Lord, You instructed me then in ways more than one; yet I did not understand. Do not allow this thought to anger You. I have no such delusion now; I find developed in me a taste for hearing the story of Rama. Recount the sacred virtues of Sri Rama, O Lord of immortals, having the serpent-king (Sesa) for an ornament."
