Pai na kehim gati patit pavan

Chhand 1, Under Doha 130 · Uttar Kand

Chhand Text

पाई न केहिं गति पतित पावन राम भजि सुनु सठ मना। गनिका अजामिल ब्याध गीध गजादि खल तारे घना॥ आभीर जमन किरात खस स्वपचादि अति अघरूप जे। कहि नाम बारक तेपि पावन होहिं राम नमामि ते॥ १ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

pāī na kehiṃ gati patita pāvana rāma bhaji sunu saṭha manā। ganikā ajāmila byādha gīdha gajādi khala tāre ghanā॥ ābhīra jamana kirāta khasa svapacādi ati agharūpa je। kahi nāma bāraka tepi pāvana hohiṃ rāma namāmi te॥ 1 ॥

Meaning

O foolish mind, listen: by worshiping Rama, the purifier of the fallen, who has not attained the highest state? He delivered countless sinners such as the courtesan, Ajamil, the hunter, the vulture, and the elephant. The Abhiras, Yavanas, Kiratas, Khasas, outcastes, and others of utterly sinful nature are also purified simply by taking His name even once. I bow to Rama.
