जाउँ कहाँ तजि चरन तुम्हारे ।
काको नाम पतित-पावन जग, केहि अति दीन पियारे ॥ १ ॥

कौने देव बराइ बिरद-हित, हठि हठि अधम उधारे ।
खग,मृग,ब्याध,पषान,बिटप जड़, जवन कवन सुर तारे ॥ २ ॥

देव,दनुज,मुनि,नाग,मनुज सब, माया\-बिबस बिचारे ।
तिनके हाथ दासतुलसी प्रभु, कहा अपनपौ हारे ॥ ३ ॥
(विनय-पत्रिका - १०१)

jāum̐ kahām̐ taji carana tumhārē ।
kākō nāma patita-pāvana jaga, kēhi ati dīna piyārē ॥ 1 ॥

kaunē dēva barāi birada-hita, haṭhi haṭhi adhama udhārē ।
khaga,mṛga,byādha,paṣāna,biṭapa jaḍa़, javana kavana sura tārē ॥ 2 ॥

dēva,danuja,muni,nāga,manuja saba, māyā\-bibasa bicārē ।
tinakē hātha dāsatulasī prabhu, kahā apanapau hārē ॥ 3 ॥
(vinaya-patrikā - 101)

Where would I go leaving your lotus-feet, O' Rama? Who [else] has the name "the purier of the fallen ones"? (Alternately, the name of who [else] puries the fallen ones?) [1]

Which [other] deity, for the sake of his own glory and pledge, has again and again forcibly (gratuitously) redeemed the vilest [of beings]? Which deity uplifted the bird (Jatayu), the animals (monkeys and bears), the hunter (Valmki), the rock (Ahalya), the inanimate trees (Lord Shri Rama brought everyone be it animate or animate in supreme heaven) and the Yavana (Kalayavana)?[2]

Deities, demons, sages, serpents and humans are all helpless under the control of Maya. O Lord! What will Tulasidasa do losing (surrendering) himself to their hands?[3]
