Sanskrit Original
कहि सक न सारद सेष नारद सुनत पद पंकज गहे। अस दीनबंधु कृपाल अपने भगत गुन निज मुख कहे।। सिरु नाह बारहिं बार चरनन्हि ब्रह्मपुर नारद गए।। ते धन्य तुलसीदास आस बिहाइ जे हरि रँग रँए।।
kahi saka na sārada sēṣa nārada sunata pada paṃkaja gahē. asa dīnabaṃdhu kṛpāla apanē bhagata guna nija mukha kahē.. siru nāha bārahiṃ bāra carananhi brahmapura nārada gaē.. tē dhanya tulasīdāsa āsa bihāi jē hari raomga raomē..
Neither Sarada nor Sesa could tell them!" Even as he heard this the sage Narada clasped the Lord's lotus feet. In this way the all-merciful Lord, the befriender of the meek, recounted with His own lips the virtues of His devotees. Narada bowed his head at the Lord's feet again and again and left for the abode of Brahma (the Creator). Blessed are they, says Tulasidasa, who, giving up all hopes, are steeped in love for Sri Hari.
