Bāla Kāṇḍa·Chaupāī·15.5·122 of 124
भनिति मोरि सिव कृपाँ बिभाती। ससि समाज मिलि मनहुँ सुराती॥
जे एहि कथहि सनेह समेता। कहिहहिं सुनिहहिं समुझि सचेता॥
bhaniti mori siva kṛpā̃ bibhātī, sasi samāja mili manahũ surātī |
je ehi kathahi saneha sametā, kahihahĩ sunihahĩ samujhi sacetā ||
English Rendering
My composition, by Śiva’s grace, will shine — as though a company of stars had come together with the moon and made a beautiful night. Those who tell and hear this story with love, and understand it with an alert mind —
हिन्दी अनुवाद
शिव-कृपा से मेरी रचना ऐसे शोभित होगी — मानो चन्द्रमा का समाज सितारों से मिलकर सुहावनी रात बना दे। जो इस कथा को स्नेह-सहित कहते-सुनते हैं और सचेत होकर समझते हैं —
Context — Editorial
The night-sky image is exact: the moon (Śiva’s grace) at the centre, the stars (the poem’s words) around it. Neither shines alone in the same way. The verse then quietly names its audience: not everyone — those who bring love and pay attention.
