Kahahin te bed asammat bani

Chaupai 2, Under Doha 115 · Bal Kand

Chaupai Text

कहहिं ते बेद असंमत बानी। जिन्ह कें सूझ लाभु नहिं हानी॥ मुकुर मलिन अरु नयन बिहीना। राम रूप देखहिं किमि दीना॥ २ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

kahahiṃ te beda asaṃmata bānī। jinha keṃ sūjha lābhu nahiṃ hānī॥ mukura malin aru nayana bihīnā। rāma rūpa dekhahiṃ kimi dīnā॥ 2 ॥

Meaning

Only those speak such words that go against the Vedas, who cannot discern their own gain or loss. With a mind-mirror made dull and eyes bereft of sight, how can the poor see Rama's form?
