Tab te jiv bhayau sansari

Chaupai 3, Under Doha 117 · Uttar Kand

Chaupai Text

तब ते जीव भयउ संसारी। छूट न ग्रंथि न होइ सुखारी॥ श्रुति पुरान बहु कहेउ उपाई। छूट न अधिक अधिक अरुझाई॥ ३ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

taba te jīva bhayau saṃsārī। chūṭa na granthi na hoi sukhārī॥ śruti purāna bahu kaheu upāī। chūṭa na adhika adhika arujhāī॥ 3 ॥

Meaning

From that time the जीव became worldly, unable to break the knot or be happy. The scriptures and Puranas have given many remedies, yet the knot does not come undone; rather, it becomes more and more entangled.
