Mata puni boli so mati doli
Chhand 4, Under Doha 192 · Bal Kand
Chhand Text
माता पुनि बोली सो मति डोली तजहु तात यह रूपा। कीजै सिसुलीला अति प्रियसीला यह सुख परम अनूपा॥ सुनि बचन सुजाना रोदन ठाना होइ बालक सुरभूपा। यह चरित जे गावहिं हरिपद पावहिं ते न परहिं भवकूपा॥ ४ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
mātā puni bolī so mati ḍolī tajahu tāta yaha rūpā। kījai sisulīlā ati priyasīlā yaha sukha parama anūpā॥ suni bacana sujānā rodana ṭhānā hoi bālaka surabhūpā। yaha carita je gāvahiṃ haripada pāvahiṃ te na parahiṃ bhavakūpā॥ 4 ॥
Meaning
The mother’s mind wavered, and she again said, “O dear child, leave this form and perform your sweet childhood play; for me, such bliss will be utterly unique.” Hearing these words, the wise Lord, king of the gods, took on a child’s form and began to cry. Those who sing this narrative attain the feet of Hari and never fall into the pit of worldly existence.
