सो केवल भगतन हित लागी। परम कृपाल प्रनत अनुरागी॥ जेहि जन पर ममता अति छोहू। जेहिं करुना करि कीन्ह न कोहू॥ ३ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
so kevala bhagatana hita lāgī। parama kṛpāla pranata anurāgī॥ jehi jana para mamatā ati chohū। jehiṃ karunā kari kīnha na kohū॥ 3 ॥
Meaning
That pastime is solely for the welfare of the devotees, for the Lord is supremely compassionate and deeply loving toward those who take refuge in Him. He has great affection and mercy for His devotees; once He has shown mercy to someone, He never turns to anger against that person again.
