Sanskrit Original
आजु धन्य मैं धन्य अति जद्यपि सब बिधि हीन। निज जन जानि राम मोहि संत समागम दीन।।123(क)।। नाथ जथामति भाषेउँ राखेउँ नहिं कछु गोइ। चरित सिंधु रघुनायक थाह कि पावइ कोइ।।123।।
āju dhanya maiṃ dhanya ati jadyapi saba bidhi hīna. nija jana jāni rāma mōhi saṃta samāgama dīna..123ka.. nātha jathāmati bhāṣēu rākhēu nahiṃ kachu gōi. carita siṃdhu raghunāyaka thāha ki pāvai kōi..123..
Though vile in everyway, I am blessed, most blessed today, in that Sri Rama has acknowledged me as one of His own servants and therefore vouchsafed to me the fellowship of a saint (like you). My lord, I have spoken to the best of my ability and have concealed nothing. But the story of Sri Rama (the Lord of the Raghus) is vast as an ocean: can anyone find the bottom of it ?
