E sab Ram bhagati ke badhak

Chaupai 9, Under Doha 7 · Kishkindha Kand

Chaupai Text

ए सब राम भगति के बाधक। कहहिं संत तव पद अवराधक॥ सत्रु मित्र सुख दुख जग माहीं। मायाकृत परमारथ नाहीं॥ ९ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

e saba rāma bhagati ke bādhaka। kahahiṃ santa tava pada avarādhaka॥ satru mitra sukha dukha jaga māhīṃ। māyākṛta paramāratha nāhīṃ॥ 9 ॥

Meaning

For the saints who worship your feet say that all these things stand against devotion to Rama. In this world, all opposites—enemy and friend, joy and sorrow—are created by Maya; in truth, they do not exist.
