Narad sikh je sunahi nar nari

Chaupai 2, Under Doha 79 · Bal Kand

Chaupai Text

नारद सिख जे सुनहिं नर नारी। अवसि होहिं तजि भवनु भिखारी॥ मन कपटी तन सज्जन चीन्हा। आपु सरिस सबही चह कीन्हा॥ २ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

nārada sikh je sunahiṃ nara nārī। avasi hohiṃ taji bhavanu bhikhārī॥ mana kapaṭī tana sajjana cīnhā। āpu sarisa sabahī caha kīnhā॥ 2 ॥

Meaning

Men and women who listen to Narad’s counsel certainly become mendicants, leaving home and family behind. His mind is deceitful, while his body bears the marks of a holy man. He wishes to make everyone like himself.
