Chaupai Text
सोचिअ बयसु कृपन धनवानू। जो न अतिथि सिव भगति सुजानू॥ सोचिअ सूद्रु बिप्र अवमानी। मुखर मानप्रिय ग्यान गुमानी॥ ३ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
socia bayasu kṛpana dhanavānū। jo na atithi siva bhagati sujānū॥ socia sūdru bipra avamānī। mukhara mānapriya gyāna gumānī॥ 3 ॥
Meaning
One should grieve for that vaishya who, though wealthy, is miserly and not skilled in honoring guests or in devotion to Shiva. One should grieve for that shudra who insults brahmins, speaks much, covets honor, and is arrogant with his knowledge.
