तऊ न मेरे अघ-अवगुन गनिहैं। जौ जमराज काज सब परिहरि, इहै ख्याल उर अनिहैं॥ १॥ चलिहैं छूटि पुंज पापिनके, असमंजस जिय जनिहैं। देखि खलल अधिकार प्रभूसों मेरी भूरि भलाई भनिहैं॥ २॥ हसि करिहैं परतीति भगतकी भगत-सिरोमनि मनिहैं। ज्यों त्यों तुलसिदास कोसलपति अपनायेहि पर बनिहैं॥ ३॥
Even then he will not count my sins and faults, though Yamaraja might set aside every other task and bring this one thought into his heart. (1) For then hosts of sinners would go free and he would perceive a quandary in his heart; seeing his authority disrupted, he would tell the Lord abundant good of me. (2) Smiling, he would attest my devotion and regard me as the crown of devotees. One way or another, Tulsidas says, all will be well only when the Lord of Kosala makes me his own. (3)
