So sukhu karamu dharamu jari jao

Chaupai 1, Under Doha 291 · Ayodhya Kand

Chaupai Text

सो सुखु करमु धरमु जरि जाऊ। जहँ न राम पद पंकज भाऊ॥ जोगु कुजोगु ग्यानु अग्यानू। जहँ नहिं राम पेम परधानू॥ १ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

so sukhu karamu dharamu jari jāū। jahaṃ na rāma pada paṃkaja bhāū॥ jogu kujogu gyānu agyānū। jahaṃ nahiṃ rāma pema pradhānū॥ 1 ॥

Meaning

Where there is no love for Rama's lotus feet, may happiness, action, and righteousness all be burnt away. Where devotion to Rama is not foremost, yoga becomes bad yoga, and knowledge becomes ignorance.
