Chaupāī

सभय सिंधु गहि पद प्रभु केरे। छमहु नाथ सब अवगुन मेरे॥ गगन समीर अनल जल धरनी। इन्ह कइ नाथ सहज जड़ करनी॥ तव प्रेरित मायाँ उपजाए। सृष्टि हेतु सब ग्रंथनि गाए॥ प्रभु आयसु जेहि कहँ जस अहई। सो तेहि भाँति रहे सुख लहई॥ प्रभु भल कीन्ही मोहि सिख दीन्ही। मरजादा पुनि तुम्हरी कीन्ही॥ ढोल गवाँर सूद्र पसु नारी। सकल ताड़ना के अधिकारी॥ प्रभु प्रताप मैं जाब सुखाई। उतरिहि कटकु मोरि बड़ाई॥ प्रभु अग्या अपेल श्रुति गाई। करौं सो बेगि जौ तुम्हहि सोहाई॥

Dohā

सुनत बिनीत बचन अति कह कृपाल मुसुकाइ। जेहि बिधि उतरै कपि कटकु तात सो कहहु उपाइ॥59॥

sunata binīta bacana ati kaha kṛpāla musukāi jehi bidhi utarai kapi kaṭaku tāta so kahahu upāi 59

MeaningAfraid, the ocean grasped the Lord's feet: "Forgive, Lord, all my faults. Sky, wind, fire, water and earth — their nature, Lord, is dull (inert) by birth; impelled by your Maya they were created for (the purpose of) creation, so all the scriptures sing. Whatever the Lord's command for each is, in that way each abides and gains happiness. The Lord has done well, has given me instruction; yet you also have fixed this bound (maryada) of yours: the drum, the rustic, the shudra, the beast and the woman — all are fit objects of taadana (handling / correction). By the Lord's might I shall be dried up, and the army will cross — but it is not my greatness. The Lord's command is irresistible, the Vedas sing; I will quickly do whatever pleases you." Hearing his most humble words the gracious one said, smiling, "By whatever means the monkey army may cross over, son, tell that means."
