लोभइ ओढ़न लोभइ डासन। सिस्नोदर पर जमपुर त्रास न॥ काहू की जौं सुनहिं बड़ाई। स्वास लेहिं जनु जूड़ी आई॥ १ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

lobhai oṛhana lobhai ḍāsana। sisnodara para jamapura trāsa na॥ kāhū kī jauṃ sunahiṃ baṛāī। svāsa lehiṃ janu jūṛī āī॥ 1 ॥

Meaning

Greed is their blanket and greed their bed; they are absorbed in eating and sex and have no fear of Yama’s realm. If they hear anyone praised, they sigh as if a fever had seized them.
