Sanskrit Original
पुनि प्रभु कहहु सो तत्व बखानी। जेहिं बिग्यान मगन मुनि ग्यानी।। भगति ग्यान बिग्यान बिरागा। पुनि सब बरनहु सहित बिभागा।। औरउ राम रहस्य अनेका। कहहु नाथ अति बिमल बिबेका।। जो प्रभु मैं पूछा नहि होई। सोउ दयाल राखहु जनि गोई।। तुम्ह त्रिभुवन गुर बेद बखाना। आन जीव पाँवर का जाना।। प्रस्न उमा कै सहज सुहाई। छल बिहीन सुनि सिव मन भाई।। हर हियँ रामचरित सब आए। प्रेम पुलक लोचन जल छाए।। श्रीरघुनाथ रूप उर आवा। परमानंद अमित सुख पावा।।

Then expound, my lord, the truth in the realization of which enlightened sages remain absorbed. And thereafter discuss in detail the conceptions of Devotion, Jnana or Knowledge of the formless Absolute, Vijnana or the Knowledge of qualified Divinity with and without form, and Dispassion. Over and above this, O Lord of purest understanding, reveal to me the many other mysteries connected with Rama. And if there be anything which I have omitted to ask, do not keep it back, my gracious lord. You are the preceptor of all the three spheres, so declare the Vedas; what can other poor creatures know?" Siva was glad at heart to hear these questions of Uma, naturally pleasing and guileless as they were. All the exploits of Rama flashed on His mind; the hair on His body bristled with rapture and His eyes filled with tears. The figure of Sri Rama was reflected on the mirror of His heart. This brought immense joy to Siva, who is an embodiment of supreme bliss Himself.
