Nahin kali karam na bhagati bibekoo

Chaupai 4, Under Doha 27 · Bal Kand

Chaupai Text

नहिं कलि करम न भगति बिबेकू। राम नाम अवलंबन एकू॥ कालनेमि कलि कपट निधानू। नाम सुमति समरथ हनुमानू॥ ४ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

nahiṃ kali karama na bhagati bibekū। rāma nāma avalaṃbana ekū॥ kālanemi kali kapaṭa nidhānū। nāma sumati samaratha hanumānū॥ 4 ॥

Meaning

In Kali Yuga there is neither action, nor devotion, nor discernment; the only support is the Name of Rama. Against Kalnemi, the storehouse of deceit in the form of Kali Yuga, the Name is the wise and powerful Hanuman.

Context

This is Chaupai 4, Under Doha 27 from Bal Kand, in the episode “Glory of Rama's Name”. The episode describes the supreme glory of Rama's name as the most accessible refuge in Kali Yuga.
