Chaupai 6, Under Doha 121 · Uttar Kand

Chaupai Text

सो तनु धरि हरि भजहिं न जे नर। होहिं बिषय रत मंद मंद तर॥ काँच किरिच बदलें ते लेहीं। कर ते डारि परस मनि देहीं॥ ६ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

so tanu dhari hari bhajahiṃ na je nara। hohiṃ biṣaya rata manda manda tara॥ kāṃca kiriča badaleṃ te lehīṃ। kara te ḍāri parasa mani dehīṃ॥ 6 ॥

Meaning

Even after obtaining such a human body, those who do not worship Hari and remain attached to base worldly pleasures are like throwing away a touchstone and taking glass in exchange.
