Chhand Text

जेहिं पद सुरसरिता परम पुनीता प्रगट भई सिव सीस धरी। सोई पद पंकज जेहि पूजत अज मम सिर धरेउ कृपाल हरी॥ एहि भाँति सिधारी गौतम नारी बार बार हरि चरन परी। जो अति मन भावा सो बरु पावा गै पतिलोक अनंद भरी॥ ४ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

jehiṃ pada surasaritā parama punītā pragaṭa bhaī siva sīsa dharī। soī pada paṃkaja jehi pūjata aja mama sira dhareu kṛpāla harī॥ ehi bhām̐ti sidhārī gautama nārī bāra bāra hari carana parī। jo ati mana bhāvā so baru pāvā gai patiloka ananda bharī॥ 4 ॥

Meaning

The very feet from which the sacred celestial river Ganga arose, the feet that Shiva bears upon his head, and which Brahma worships as lotus feet—those same feet, O compassionate Hari, You placed upon my head. In this way, Gautama’s wife kept falling again and again at Hari’s feet. Having received the boon that pleased her heart most, she went, filled with joy, to her husband’s world.
