Doha 79
दच्छसुतन्ह उपदेसेन्हि जाई। तिन्ह फिरि भवनु न देखा आई॥ चित्रकेतु कर घरु उन घाला। कनककसिपु कर पुनि अस हाला॥१॥
नारद सिख जे सुनहिं नर नारी। अवसि होहिं तजि भवनु भिखारी॥ मन कपटी तन सज्जन चीन्हा। आपु सरिस सबही चह कीन्हा॥२॥
तेहि कें बचन मानि बिस्वासा। तुम्ह चाहहु पति सहज उदासा॥ निर्गुन निलज कुबेष कपाली। अकुल अगेह दिगंबर ब्याली॥३॥
कहहु कवन सुखु अस बरु पाएँ। भल भूलिहु ठग के बौराएँ॥ पंच कहें सिवँ सती बिबाही। पुनि अवडेरि मराएन्हि ताही॥४॥
Meaning
“He called on and admonished the sons of Dakṣa and they never saw their home again. It was he who ruined the home of Citraketu; and again Hiraṇyakaśipu (the father of Prahlāda) met a similar fate. (1) “Men and women who listen to Nārada’s advice are sure to leave their home and become mendicants. Guileful at heart, he bears on his person the marks of a pious man; he would make everyone just like himself. (2) “Relying on his words you crave for a husband who is apathetic by nature, devoid of attributes, shameless, homeless and naked, who has an inauspicious look about him, wears a string of skulls round his neck, is without a family and has serpents for his ornaments.(3) “Tell us, what happiness do you expect by obtaining such a husband? You have fallen an easy prey to the machinations of that impostor, Nārada! Śiva married Satī at the intercession of some friends; but later on he abandoned her and contrived her death. (4)
अब सुख सोवत सोचु नहिं भीख मागि भव खाहिं। सहज एकाकिन्ह के भवन कबहुँ कि नारि खटाहिं॥७९॥
Meaning
“Śiva is care-free now; he lives on alms and enjoys sound sleep. Can women ever stay in the house of temperamentally solitary-living persons? (79)
