Dharam sakal sarasiruha brinda

Chaupai 3, Under Doha 44 · Aranya Kand

Chaupai Text

धर्म सकल सरसीरुह बृंदा। होइ हिम तिन्हहि दहइ सुख मंदा॥ पुनि ममता जवास बहुताई। पलुहइ नारि सिसिर रितु पाई॥ ३ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

dharma sakala sarsīruha bṛndā। hoi hima tinhahi dahai sukha mandā॥ puni mamatā javāsa bahutāī। paluhai nāri sisira ritu pāī॥ 3 ॥

Meaning

All dharmas are like clusters of lotuses; this cold season burns them despite their gentle happiness. Then the weed of possessiveness flourishes greatly when it receives the woman-like winter season.
