Dashaka 47 बन्धुमिच्छति यमेव सज्जनस्तं भवन्तमयि बन्धुमिच्छती। सा नियुज्य रशनागुणान् बहून् द्वयंगुलोनमखिलं किलैक्षत।।7।। ENGLISH TRANSLATION All good men want to bind themselves to Thee alone in devotion. That Thou O Lord! Yashodaa desiring to tie, found the length of the rope short by two fingers, even though she attached many pieces of ropes to lengthen it. विस्मितोत्स्मितसखीजनेक्षितां स्विन्नसन्नवपुषं निरीक्ष्य ताम्। नित्यमुक्तवपुरप्यहो हरे बन्धमेव कृपयान्वमन्यथाः।।8।। ENGLISH TRANSLATION As Thy mother's friends were smilingly watching with wonder, Thou saw her body perspiring and exhausted due to the effort. O Hari! Thou who are the ever-free Being, out of compassion accepted the bondage. स्थीयतां चिरमुलूखले खलेत्यागता भवनमेव सा यदा। प्रागुलूखलविलान्तरे तदा सर्पिरर्पितमदन्नवास्थिथाः।।9।। ENGLISH TRANSLATION As Yashodaa went back into the house, she said 'O Rogue! stay tied like this to the mortar for long.' Thou stayed there eating the butter which Thou had earlier placed in the cavity of the mortar. यद्यपाशसुगमो विभो भवान् संयतः किमु सपाशयानया। एवमादि दिविजैरभिष्टुतो वातनाथ परिपाहि मां गदात्।।10।। ENGLISH TRANSLATION O All Pervading Being! If Thou are easily attainable to the desireless (a-paash) people, who are not bound by desire, how was it that Yashodaa was able to secure Thee with a (paash) rope for binding. Thou whose glories were thus sung by the gods in the heaven, O Lord of Guruvaayur! May Thou save me from my ailments.
