Saruj sarir badi bahu bhoga
Chaupai 3, Under Doha 178 · Ayodhya Kand
Chaupai Text
सरुज सरीर बादि बहु भोगा। बिनु हरिभगति जायँ जप जोगा॥ जायँ जीव बिनु देह सुहाई। बादि मोर सबु बिनु रघुराई॥ ३ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
saruja sarīra bādi bahu bhogā। binu haribhagati jāyaṃ japa jogā॥ jāyaṃ jīva binu deha suhāī। bādi mora sabu binu raghurāī॥ 3 ॥
Meaning
For a diseased body, many kinds of enjoyments are useless. Without devotion to Sri Hari, recitation and yoga are useless. A beautiful body is useless without life. Likewise, without Sri Raghunath, everything of mine is meaningless.
