Kahi katha sakal biloki hari mukh
Chhand, Under Doha 36 · Aranya Kand
Chhand Text
कहि कथा सकल बिलोकि हरि मुख हृदयँ पद पंकज धरे। तजि जोग पावक देह हरि पद लीन भइ जहँ नहिं फिरे॥ नर बिबिध कर्म अधर्म बहु मत सोकप्रद सब त्यागहू। बिस्वास करि कह दास तुलसी राम पद अनुरागहू॥
Transliteration (IAST)
kahi kathā sakala biloki hari mukha hṛdayaṃ pada paṃkaja dhare। taji joga pāvaka deha hari pada līna bhai jahaṃ nahiṃ phire॥ nara bibidhi karma adharma bahu mata sokaprada saba tyāgahū। bisvāsa kari kaha dāsa tulasī rāma pada anurāgahū॥
Meaning
Having told the whole story and gazed upon Hari’s face, she held His lotus feet in her heart. Then, giving up the body through the fire of yoga, she became absorbed in Hari’s feet, from where there is no return. O human beings, Tulsidas says: abandon the many kinds of deeds, unrighteousness, and doctrines that bring sorrow, and with faith, love the feet of Rama.
