Bahu dam sanvarahin dham jati

Chhand 1, Under Doha 101 · Uttar Kand

Chhand Text

बहु दाम सँवारहिं धाम जती। बिषया हरि लीन्हि न रहि बिरती॥ तपसी धनवंत दरिद्र गृही। कलि कौतुक तात न जात कही॥ १ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

bahu dāma saṃvārahiṃ dhāma jatī। biṣayā hari līnhi na rahi biratī॥ tapasī dhanavanta daridra gṛhī। kali kautuka tāta na jāta kahī॥ 1 ॥

Meaning

Ascetics adorn their homes with great wealth; their detachment has been stolen away by desires. The renunciates have become rich and householders poor. O father, the wonders of the Kali age cannot be fully told.
