Chaupai 2, Under Doha 58 · Bal Kand

Chaupai Text

संकर रुख अवलोकि भवानी। प्रभु मोहि तजेउ हृदयँ अकुलानी॥ निज अघ समुझि न कछु कहि जाई। तपइ अवाँ इव उर अधिकाई॥ २ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

saṃkara rukha avaloki bhavānī। prabhu mohi tajeu hṛdayaṃ akulānī॥ nija agha samujhi na kachu kahi jāī। tapai avāṃ iva ura adhikāī॥ 2 ॥

Meaning

Seeing Shiva's expression, Bhavani understood that her Lord had abandoned her, and she became distressed in her heart. Realizing her own sin, she could say nothing, but her heart burned all the more intensely within, like a kiln's furnace.

Context

This is Chaupai 2, Under Doha 58 from Bal Kand, in the episode “Shiva Renounces Sati”. The episode describes Shiva inwardly renouncing Sati and entering deep, unworldly samadhi.
