Hridayan sochu samujhat nij karani

Chaupai 1, Under Doha 58 · Bal Kand

Chaupai Text

हृदयँ सोचु समुझत निज करनी। चिंता अमित जाइ नहिं बरनी॥ कृपासिंधु सिव परम अगाधा। प्रगट न कहेउ मोर अपराधा॥ १ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

hṛdayaṃ sochu samujhata nija karanī। cintā amita jāi nahiṃ baranī॥ kṛpāsindhu siva parama agādhā। pragaṭa na kaheu mora aparādhā॥ 1 ॥

Meaning

Remembering her own conduct, Sati had such sorrow in her heart and such boundless anxiety that it could not be described. [She understood that] Shiva is the supreme, unfathomable ocean of compassion, and so he did not openly speak of my fault.

Context

This is Chaupai 1, Under Doha 58 from Bal Kand, in the episode “Shiva Renounces Sati”. The episode describes Shiva inwardly renouncing Sati and entering deep, unworldly samadhi.
