Bhae kamabas jogis tapas pawanranha ki
Chhand, Under Doha 85 · Bal Kand
Chhand Text
भए कामबस जोगीस तापस पावँरन्हि की को कहै। देखहिं चराचर नारिमय जे ब्रह्ममय देखत रहे॥ अबला बिलोकहिं पुरुषमय जगु पुरुष सब अबलामयं। दुइ दंड भरि ब्रह्मांड भीतर कामकृत कौतुक अयं॥
Transliteration (IAST)
bhae kāmabasa jogīsa tāpasa pāvaṃranhi kī ko kahai। dekhahiṃ carācara nārimaya je brahmamaya dekhata rahe॥ abalā bilokhahiṃ puruṣamaya jagu puruṣa saba abalāmayaṃ। dui daṇḍa bhari brahmāṃḍa bhītara kāmakṛta kautuka ayaṃ॥
Meaning
When even yogis and ascetics came under the sway of desire, what need is there to speak of the lowly? Those who used to see all moving and unmoving creation as Brahman now saw it as female. Women saw the whole world as male, and men saw it as female. For two daṇḍas of time, within the universe, this was the wonder wrought by desire.
Context
This is Chhand, Under Doha 85 from Bal Kand, in the episode “Kamadeva Burned to Ashes”. The episode describes Kamadeva's bold attempt to disturb Shiva's meditation and his reduction to ashes.
