Brahma-vimohana-līlā
शृणुष्वावहितो राजन्नपि गुह्यं वदामि ते । ब्रूयु: स्निग्धस्य शिष्यस्य गुरवो गुह्यमप्युत ॥ ३ ॥
śṛṇuṣvāvahito rājann api guhyaṁ vadāmi te brūyuḥ snigdhasya śiṣyasya guravo guhyam apy uta
اے بادشاہ، توجہ سے سنو؛ میں تمہیں یہ نہایت رازدارانہ بات بتاتا ہوں۔ کیونکہ گرو حضرات محبت کرنے والے اور فرمانبردار شاگرد کو پوشیدہ اور دشوار مضامین بھی سمجھا دیتے ہیں۔
