Jasu nam sumirat ek bara
Chaupai 2, Under Doha 101 · Ayodhya Kand
Chaupai Text
जासु नाम सुमिरत एक बारा। उतरहिं नर भवसिंधु अपारा॥ सोइ कृपालु केवटहि निहोरा। जेहिं जगु किय तिहु पगहु ते थोरा॥ २ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
jāsu nāma sumirata eka bārā। utarahiṃ nara bhavasiṃdhu apārā॥ soi kṛpālu kevatahi nihorā। jehiṃ jagu kiy tihu pagahu te thorā॥ 2 ॥
Meaning
By remembering whose name even once, people cross the boundless ocean of worldly existence—and that same merciful Lord, who in the Vamana incarnation made the world smaller than three steps (measuring the three worlds in just two steps), is now pleading with the boatman to ferry Him across!
Context
This is Chaupai 2, Under Doha 101 from Ayodhya Kand, in the episode “Kevat's Devotion and Crossing the Ganga”. The episode describes Kevat washing the Lord's feet and lovingly ferrying Rama, Sita, and Lakshmana across the Ganga.
