Tamas tanu kachhu sadhan nahin
Chaupai 2, Under Doha 7 · Sundar Kand
Chaupai Text
तामस तनु कछु साधन नाहीं। प्रीति न पद सरोज मन माहीं॥ अब मोहि भा भरोस हनुमंता। बिनु हरिकृपा मिलहिं नहिं संता॥ २ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
tāmasa tanu kachu sādhana nāhīṃ। prīti na pada saroja mana māhīṃ॥ aba mohi bhā bharosa hanumaṃtā। binu harikṛpā milahiṃ nahiṃ saṃtā॥ 2 ॥
Meaning
Because my body is tamasic, I have no means of spiritual practice, nor is there any devotion in my heart for Shri Ramachandra's lotus feet. But now, O Hanuman, I have become convinced that Shri Rama's grace is upon me, for without Hari's grace, saints are not met.
Context
This is Chaupai 2, Under Doha 7 from Sundar Kand, in the episode “Hanuman-Vibhishana Dialogue”. The episode describes Hanuman meeting Vibhishana in Lanka and their heartfelt exchange filled with devotion to Rama.
