Kabirdasa Charitam III Vol III Book IX Chp 1 Shlokas 1 -3
भागवता उचुः
रामानन्दस्य शिष्याणां वैभवं वद विस्तरात् |
वयं तु पातुमिच्छामस्तवैव वचनामृतम् |
व्यर्थं ग्राम्यकथाभिर्हि नीयते दुर्लभं वयः |
क्षणार्धमपि साधूनां सङ्गमस्तु सुखावहः ||
हरेक्ष्च हरिदासानां चरित्रश्रवणेन सुखावहः |
जायते परमानन्दो ब्रह्मादिसुरदुर्लभः ||
The bhagavatas said
Please give us, in detail, the glorious account of the disciples of Shri Ramananda. We desire to drink in the nectar of your words. This invaluable life is wasted idly. To be blessed with the company of sadhus even for a moment is a great pleasure. When we listen to the sacred story of Lord Shri Hari and His bhaktas or haridasas, we get a great deal of divine joy that is unattainable even to the devas.
