<a id="line-1"></a>ब्रह्म निरंजन जनि भनो, सुनहु खोलि निज कान ।  
<a id="line-2"></a>अंजन बनि डोलै सदा, पाछे ब्रज बनितान ॥९२॥

Published Hindi meaning — contributor not separately identified in this edition

<a id="line-3"></a>भावार्थ - हे ज्ञानियो ! ब्रह्म को केवल निरंजन मत कहो, जरा ध्यान देकर  
<a id="line-4"></a>सुनो। यदि ब्रह्म निरंजन ही होता जो ब्रज गोपियों की आँखों का अंजन बन  
<a id="line-5"></a>कर उनके पीछे पीछे लंपट की भाँति न डोलता।

<a id="line-6"></a>Brahm niranjan jani bhano, sunahu kholi nij kȧn.  
<a id="line-7"></a>Anjan bani ḋolai saḍȧ, pȧche Braj baniṭȧn. [92]

Published English meaning — H.D. Swami Prakashanand Saraswati

<a id="line-8"></a>O gyanis, listen very carefully. Do not think that brahm is niranjan  
<a id="line-9"></a>(formless and virtueless) only. Gopis of Braj loved Him (supreme  
<a id="line-10"></a>brahm Krishn) so much that He became like the anjan (collyrium)  
<a id="line-11"></a>of their eyes, and that He was always following them like an  
<a id="line-12"></a>eager lover. If supreme brahm was only formless, then how  
<a id="line-13"></a>would He have done so?
