Jogi akantaka bhae pati gati sunat

Chhand, Under Doha 87 · Bal Kand

Chhand Text

जोगी अकंटक भए पति गति सुनत रति मुरुछित भई। रोदति बदति बहु भाँति करुना करति संकर पहिं गई॥ अति प्रेम करि बिनती बिबिध बिधि जोरि कर सन्मुख रही। प्रभु आसुतोष कृपाल सिव अबला निरखि बोले सही॥

Transliteration (IAST)

jogī akaṃṭaka bhae pati gati sunata rati muruchita bhaī। rodati badati bahu bhāṃti karuṇā karati saṃkara pahiṃ gaī॥ ati prema kari binatī bibidha bidhi jori kara sanmukha rahī। prabhu āsutoṣa kṛpāla siva abalā nirakhi bole sahī॥

Meaning

With the yogīs now left untroubled, Rati fainted on hearing of her husband’s fate. Weeping and lamenting in many ways, she went to Shankara. With great love she made many kinds of entreaties and stood before him with folded hands. The gracious Lord Shiva, ever quick to be pleased, looked upon the helpless woman and spoke kindly.
