Munihi moh man hath paraen
Chaupai 3, Under Doha 134 · Bal Kand
Chaupai Text
मुनिहि मोह मन हाथ पराएँ। हँसहिं संभु गन अति सचु पाएँ॥ जदपि सुनहिं मुनि अटपटि बानी। समुझि न परइ बुद्धि भ्रम सानी॥ ३ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
munihi moha mana hātha parāeṃ। haṃsahiṃ sambhu gana ati sacu pāeṃ॥ jadapi sunahiṃ muni aṭapaṭi bānī। samujhi na parai buddhi bhrama sānī॥ 3 ॥
Meaning
Narad the sage was falling into delusion, because his mind was in another's hands. Shiva's attendants laughed with great delight. Although the sage heard their odd words, his intellect, clouded by confusion, could not make sense of them; he took their words as praise.
