Chaupai Text
छन सुख लागि जनम सत कोटी। दुख न समुझ तेहि सम को खोटी॥ बिनु श्रम नारि परम गति लहई। पतिब्रत धर्म छाड़ि छल गहई॥ ९ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
chana sukha lāgi janama sata koṭī। dukha na samujha tehi sama ko khoṭī॥ binu śrama nāri parama gati lahī। patibrata dharma chāṛi chala gahī॥ 9 ॥
Meaning
Who could be more wicked than one who, for a moment's pleasure, does not think of the suffering of hundreds of millions of births? The woman who abandons deceit and follows the vow of fidelity attains the supreme state without effort.
