Shri Ekanatha Charitam III Vol III Book VIII Chp 13 Shlokas 27 - 31

श्रीभगवानुवाच

सर्वत्र प्रेमभावेन द्वेषबुद्धिविवर्जितः |

मामेव पश्यसि त्वं तु सर्वव्यापिनमच्युतम् ||

तस्मादहं प्रेमभक्त्या पूजितोsनान्यनिष्ठया |

त्वामेव द्रष्टुमत्रापि कौतुकादागतोस्मि च ||

मया धृतं गर्दभस्य रूपं दृष्ट्वा महामते |

खेदं मास्मगमो भक्त यदहं तवद्वशङ्गतः ||

श्रीसद्गुरुरुवाच

इत्युक्त्वा विट्ठलो विष्णुरेकनाथं सतां वरम् |

तत्रैवान्तरधाद्देवो भगवान् भक्तवत्सलः ||

एकनाथोपि सानन्दं प्रतिष्ठानपुरङ्गतः |

विष्णोराराधनञ्चक्रे प्रेमबाष्पजलेन सः ||

Shri Bhagavan said

You are able see Me, the all-pervading Achyuta, everywhere due to your loving heart that nurtures no differences and enmity. Thus worshipped by you with premature Bhakti that is devoid on enmity and differences, I came here to see you, induced by the desire to have a look at you. Oh! Bhakta, endowed with great wisdom! Do not feel sorry that I have assumed the form of a donkey. I took this form only because I have come under your control by your devotion.

Shri Sadguru continued

Having spoken thus, Shri Bhagavan, the benefactor of the bhaktas, the Devadeva and the one who is the all-pervading Lord Vitthala vanished then and there. Ekanatha attained immense joy and returned to Pratishthanapuram. He shed tears of happiness to that extent that he gave a holy bath to Lord Vitthala with those tears themselves.

Thus ends Chapter Thirteen entitled ‘Ekanatha Charitam III of Book VIII of Shri Vaishnava Samhita composed by Shri Shri Krishna Premi Swamigal
