Chapter – 182- Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika – The practice of
devotion to achieve four Purusharththa/Dharma-righteousness, Arththa-wealth,
Kama-desire, and Moksha-liberation
Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Prabho, Oh! Sharangapani/wielder
of the bow Sharnga, Oh! Sri Hari, you are well-known for your graciousness, you
are too kind and compassionate to your devotees. Oh! Prabho, you have provided
the four Purusharththa/Dharma-righteousness, Arththa-wealth, Kama-desire, and
Moksha-liberation, to your childhood friend Bhramin Sudhama who was a penniless
and staunch devotee of you. Oh! Prabho, you have brought back the lost child of
Maharishi Sandheepani from Yamaloka/the abode of Lord Yama and presented him
as Gurudhakshina/fee for a preceptor. Oh! Sharangapani, you have sieved off ten
heads of demon Ravana on the battlefield, and crowned the younger brother of
Ravana/ Vibheeshana who was a staunch devotee, as the King of Lanka. Oh!
Prabho, your childhood friend Sudhama who spend good times with you at the
hermitage of Maharishi Sandheepani was showered with an abundance of wealth
without his plea. Oh! Prabho, you have showered an abundance of grace to people
who have known you, I am ignorant and dull-minded, what did I do to you? I did
not do any service to you, I am blind by birth, how can I serve you?”
