Dadu Charitam. Vol III Book VII Chp 19 Shlokas 9 - 11

नाम्ना दादुरिति ख्यातः सर्वभूतदयापरः |

ववृधे लालितः पित्रा शुक्लपक्षे शशीव सः ||

सन्ततं चिन्तयन् कृष्णमासील्लोकविलक्षणः |

न्यस्तक्रीडानको बालो निमीलितविलोचनः ||

अजानंस्तस्य माहात्म्यम् लोदीरामो मनस्व्यपि |

पुत्रवात्सल्यसम्युक्तक्ष्चिन्तामाप दुरत्ययाम् ||

His father fondly called him ‘Dadu’. The baby grew fast as the crescent moon, under the care of the parents. Unlike the other children in the world, Dadu was disinterested in playing with toys. All the time, he was immersed in Krishna dhyana with closed eyes. Though Lodiram was a courageous man, he was disturbed to find his child being extraordinary. He was motivated by his paternal love for the child and failed to understand the glory of the boy.
