Chaupai Text
तामस बहुत रजोगुन थोरा। कलि प्रभाव बिरोध चहुँ ओरा॥ बुध जुग धर्म जानि मन माहीं। तजि अधर्म रति धर्म कराहीं॥ ३ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
tāmasa bahuta rajaguna thorā। kali prabhāva birodha cahũ orā॥ budha juga dharma jāni mana māhīṃ। taji adharma rati dharma karāhīṃ॥ 3 ॥
Meaning
When tamas is abundant and rajas is slight, and hostility prevails on all sides, that is the influence of Kali Yuga. The wise, knowing the dharma of the ages in their hearts, abandon unrighteousness and take delight in righteousness.
