Chaupai Text
भगति कि साधन कहउँ बखानी। सुगम पंथ मोहि पावहिं प्रानी॥ प्रथमहिं बिप्र चरन अति प्रीती। निज निज कर्म निरत श्रुति रीती॥ ३ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
bhagati ki sādhana kahauṃ bakhānī। sugama paṃtha mohi pāvahiṃ prānī॥ prathamahiṃ bipra carana ati prītī। nija nija karma nirata śruti rītī॥ 3 ॥
Meaning
Now I will describe the means of bhakti in detail: it is an easy path by which living beings can readily attain Me. First, there should be deep affection for the feet of the Brahmins, and one should remain engaged in one’s own duties according to the Vedic way.
