Dhan mad matt param bachala

Chaupai Text

धन मद मत्त परम बाचाला। उग्रबुद्धि उर दंभ बिसाला॥ जदपि रहेउँ रघुपति रजधानी। तदपि न कछु महिमा तब जानी॥ २ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

dhana mada matta parama bācālā। ugrabuddhi ura daṃbha bisālā॥ jadapi raheuṃ raghupati rajadhānī। tadapi na kachu mahimā taba jānī॥ 2 ॥

Meaning

Intoxicated by wealth, I was extremely talkative and harsh-minded; great pride filled my heart. Though I lived in Raghupati’s capital, I knew nothing at all of His greatness then.
