Dharani dhamu dhanu pur parivaru

Chaupai 4, Under Doha 92 · Ayodhya Kand

Chaupai Text

धरनि धामु धनु पुर परिवारू। सरगु नरकु जहँ लगि ब्यवहारू॥ देखिअ सुनिअ गुनिअ मन माहीं। मोह मूल परमारथु नाहीं॥ ४ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

dharani dhāmu dhanu pura parivārū। saragu naraku jahaṃ laga byavahārū॥ dekhia sunia gunia mana māhīṃ। moha mūla paramārathu nāhīṃ॥ 4 ॥

Meaning

Earth, home, wealth, city, family, heaven, and hell—so long as these are part of worldly dealings, things seen, heard, and thought upon in the mind, their root is delusion alone. In truth, this is not the ultimate reality.
