तस्याहं लोकपालस्य वाक्यं तत्सुसमाहितः। नैव जात्वनृतं कुर्यामिति मे सौम्य दर्शनम्॥ सर्वथैव न वक्तव्यं मया सौम्य तवाग्रतः। यदि ते श्रवणे श्रद्धा श्रूयतां रघुनन्दन ॥
tasyāhaṃ lokapālasya vākyaṃ tatsusamāhitaḥ| naiva jātvanṛtaṃ kuryāmiti me saumya darśanam|| sarvathaiva na vaktavyaṃ mayā saumya tavāgrataḥ| yadi te śravaṇe śraddhā śrūyatāṃ raghunandana ||
English Meaning
