जौं ए कंद मूल फल खाहीं। बादि सुधादि असन जग माहीं॥ एक कहहिं ए सहज सुहाए। आपु प्रगट भए बिधि न बनाए॥ १ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

jauṃ e kanda mūla phala khāhīṃ। bādi sudhādi asana jaga māhīṃ॥ eka kahahiṃ e sahaja suhāe। āpu pragaṭa bhae vidhi na banae॥ 1 ॥

Meaning

If they eat roots, bulbs, and fruits, then all foods like nectar in the world are needless. Some say: they are beautiful by nature; they have appeared on their own and were not made by Brahma.
