Je shraddha sanbal rahit nahim santanhu

Doha 38 · Bal Kand

Doha Text

जे श्रद्धा संबल रहित नहिं संतन्ह कर साथ। तिन्ह कहुँ मानस अगम अति जिन्हहि न प्रिय रघुनाथ॥ ३८ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

je śraddhā sambaḻa rahita nahiṃ santuṃha kara sātha। tinha kahuṃ mānasa agama ati jinhahi na priya raghunātha॥ 38 ॥

Meaning

For those who lack the support of faith, who have no company of saints, and to whom Lord Raghunath is not dear, this Mānas is exceedingly inaccessible. In other words, without faith, holy association, and love for God, no one can attain it.

Context

This is Doha 38 from Bal Kand, in the episode “The Form of the Manas and Its Greatness”. The episode describes the allegorical lake imagery, inner meanings, and spiritual glory of the Manas.
