Sanskrit Original
सुर मुनि गंधर्बा मिलि करि सर्बा गे बिरंचि के लोका। सँग गोतनुधारी भूमि बिचारी परम बिकल भय सोका।। ब्रह्माँ सब जाना मन अनुमाना मोर कछू न बसाई। जा करि तैं दासी सो अबिनासी हमरेउ तोर सहाई।।
sura muni gaṃdharbā mili kari sarbā gē biraṃci kē lōkā. saomga gōtanudhārī bhūmi bicārī parama bikala bhaya sōkā.. brahmāom saba jānā mana anumānā mōra kachū na basāī. jā kari taiṃ dāsī sō abināsī hamarēu tōra sahāī..
The gods, sages and Gandharvas (celestial songsters), all repaired to Brahma's abode; with them was poor Earth in the form of a cow grievously stricken with fear and grief. Brahma came to know everything; and realizing in his heart of heart his inability to help her, he said, "The immortal Lord whose servant you are will be my help as well as yours."
