Doha Text

अब सुख सोवत सोचु नहिं भीख मागि भव खाहिं। सहज एकाकिन्ह के भवन कबहुँ कि नारि खटाहिं॥ ७९ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

ab sukha sovat socu nahiṃ bhīkha māgi bhava khāhiṃ। sahaja ekākinha ke bhavanu kabahuṃ ki nāri khaṭāhiṃ॥ 79 ॥

Meaning

Now Shiva has no worry; he begs for food and sleeps in peace. In the homes of those who naturally live alone, how could women ever remain there?
