Damodar Blessed With Sons
Damodar Blessed With Sons
A wealthy Damodar had a boating business
He owned a fleet of boats and many sailors
People hired his ferries for crossing the Ganges
Some people hired these for joy and pleasure
Uncle Kripap at times booked a ferry for kids
For giving a ride to Prince Gobind and his pals
Still, these children always jumped in a ferry
They ever found one at a shore and vacant
Prince was known for utterances coming true
Once Damodar's wife prepared many gifts for him
She being without any issue requested Ma Gujri
To ask the Prince to say that she'd have a child
Ma Gujri Ji asked the Prince Gobind for saying it
But unmindful he said that child wouldn't come
Her attitude seemed as forcible and compulsive
Her gifts were also representing her ego.
Once this couple was at river Ganges
Gobind Rai asked them for a ferry ride
They willingly and lovingly gave it and told that
Daily a ferry be reserved for him and his friends
Damodar's wife again besought him to say that
A child would come in their family and home
Prince said, "one will come, more will come
And again, again and again, one will come"
Over a span of time, Damodar and his wife
Were blessed with not only one but five sons
Thus where authority and ego failed once
Love, service, and humility got the blessings
