Kathin kal mal kos dharm na

Soratha 6 (b) · Aranya Kand

Soratha Text

कठिन काल मल कोस धर्म न ग्यान न जोग जप। परिहरि सकल भरोस रामहि भजहिं ते चतुर नर॥ ६ (ख) ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

kaṭhina kāla mala kosa dharma na gyāna na joga japa। parihari sakala bharosa rāmahi bhajahiṃ te catura nara॥ 6 (b) ॥

Meaning

This hard age of Kali is a treasury of faults; in it there is neither dharma nor knowledge, nor even yoga and japa. In such times, those who give up all other hopes and worship Rama alone are the truly wise.

Context

This is Soratha 6 (b) from Aranya Kand, in the episode “Anasuya Instructs Sita”. The episode describes Sita's meeting with Anasuya and her teaching on the sacred vow of wifely devotion.
