Hoi buddhi jaun param sayani

Chaupai 5, Under Doha 118 · Uttar Kand

Chaupai Text

होइ बुद्धि जौं परम सयानी। तिन्ह तन चितव न अनहित जानी॥ जौं तेहि बिघ्न बुद्धि नहिं बाधी। तौ बहोरि सुर करहिं उपाधी॥ ५ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

hoi buddhi jauṃ parama sayānī। tinha tana citava na anahita jānī॥ jauṃ tehi bighna buddhi nahim̐ bādhī। tau bahori sura karahiṃ upādhī॥ 5 ॥

Meaning

If the intellect becomes very wise, it sees those Riddhis and Siddhis as harmful and does not even look at them. Even so, if Maya's obstacles do not hinder the intellect, then the gods create further troubles.
