Lobh paans jehin gar na bandhaya

Chaupai 3, Under Doha 21 · Kishkindha Kand

Chaupai Text

लोभ पाँस जेहिं गर न बँधाया। सो नर तुम्ह समान रघुराया॥ यह गुन साधन तें नहिं होई। तुम्हरी कृपाँ पाव कोइ कोई॥ ३ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

lobha pāṃsa jehiṃ gara na baṃdhāyā। so nara tumha samāna raghurāyā॥ yaha guna sādhana teṃ nahiṃ hoī। tumharī kṛpāṃ pāva koi koī॥ 3 ॥

Meaning

And whoever has not bound his own neck with the noose of greed, O Raghuraya, is like you. These virtues are not attained by practice. Only a few obtain them by your grace.
