Sanskrit Original
मुकुत न भए हते भगवाना। तीनि जनम द्विज बचन प्रवाना।। एक बार तिन्ह के हित लागी। धरेउ सरीर भगत अनुरागी।। कस्यप अदिति तहाँ पितु माता। दसरथ कौसल्या बिख्याता।। एक कलप एहि बिधि अवतारा। चरित्र पवित्र किए संसारा।। एक कलप सुर देखि दुखारे। समर जलंधर सन सब हारे।। संभु कीन्ह संग्राम अपारा। दनुज महाबल मरइ न मारा।। परम सती असुराधिप नारी। तेहि बल ताहि न जितहिं पुरारी।।
mukuta na bhaē hatē bhagavānā. tīni janama dvija bacana pravānā.. ēka bāra tinha kē hita lāgī. dharēu sarīra bhagata anurāgī.. kasyapa aditi tahāom pitu mātā. dasaratha kausalyā bikhyātā.. ēka kalapa ēhi bidhi avatārā. caritra pavitra kiē saṃsārā.. ēka kalapa sura dēkhi dukhārē. samara jalaṃdhara sana saba hārē.. saṃbhu kīnha saṃgrāma apārā. danuja mahābala marai na mārā.. parama satī asurādhipa nārī. tēhi bala tāhi na jitahiṃ purārī..
"Even though slain by the Lord, the two brothers (Hiranyaksa and Hiranyakasipu) did not attain liberation; for the Brahmanas had doomed them to three births. It was on their account that the Lover of the devotees bodied Himself forth on one occasion. In that birth Kasyapa and Aditi were His parents, who were known by the names of Dasaratha and Kausalya respectively. This was how in one Kalpa (round of creation) the Lord descended from heaven and performed purifying deeds on earth. In another Kalpa all the gods were worsted in their conflict with the demon Jalandhara. Seeing their distress Sambhu waged war against him, which knew no end; but the demon, who possessed a great might, could not be killed in spite of His best efforts. The wife of the demon chief was a most virtuous lady. Armed by her strength of character the demon could not be conquered even by the Vanquisher of Tripura."
