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.
