Sanskrit Original
एवमस्तु कहि रघुकुलनायक। बोले बचन परम सुखदायक।। सुनु बायस तैं सहज सयाना। काहे न मागसि अस बरदाना।। सब सुख खानि भगति तैं मागी। नहिं जग कोउ तोहि सम बड़भागी।। जो मुनि कोटि जतन नहिं लहहीं। जे जप जोग अनल तन दहहीं।। रीझेउँ देखि तोरि चतुराई। मागेहु भगति मोहि अति भाई।। सुनु बिहंग प्रसाद अब मोरें। सब सुभ गुन बसिहहिं उर तोरें।। भगति ग्यान बिग्यान बिरागा। जोग चरित्र रहस्य बिभागा।। जानब तैं सबही कर भेदा। मम प्रसाद नहिं साधन खेदा।।
ēvamastu kahi raghukulanāyaka. bōlē bacana parama sukhadāyaka.. sunu bāyasa taiṃ sahaja sayānā. kāhē na māgasi asa baradānā.. saba sukha khāni bhagati taiṃ māgī. nahiṃ jaga kōu tōhi sama baḍabhāgī.. jō muni kōṭi jatana nahiṃ lahahīṃ. jē japa jōga anala tana dahahīṃ.. rījhēu dēkhi tōri caturāī. māgēhu bhagati mōhi ati bhāī.. sunu bihaṃga prasāda aba mōrēṃ. saba subha guna basihahiṃ ura tōrēṃ.. bhagati gyāna bigyāna birāgā. jōga caritra rahasya bibhāgā.. jānaba taiṃ sabahī kara bhēdā. mama prasāda nahiṃ sādhana khēdā..
"So be it !" said the Chief of Raghu's line, and continued in these most pleasing terms : "Listen, Kakabhusundi : you are sagacious by nature; no wonder, therefore, that you ask this boon. No one in this world is so highly blessed as you, since you have sought the gift of Devotion, which is the fountain of all blessings and which even sages cannot attain in spite of all their efforts, even though they consume their body in the fire of prayer and meditation. I am pleased to see your sagacity in that you have sought Devotion, which is extremely dear to My heart. Listen, O bird : by My grace now all good qualities shall abide in your heart. Devotion, spiritual wisdom, Realization, dispassion, Yoga, My exploits as well as their secrets and classification-by My grace you shall obtain insight into all these and shall not be required to undergo the rigours of Sadhana (self-discipline).
