Doha 31b
जौं अस करौं तदपि न बड़ाई। मुएहि बधें नहिं कछु मनुसाई॥ कौल कामबस कृपिन बिमूढ़ा। अति दरिद्र अजसी अति बूढ़ा॥१॥
सदा रोगबस संतत क्रोधी। बिष्नु बिमुख श्रुति संत बिरोधी॥ तनु पोषक निंदक अघ खानी। जीवत सव सम चौदह प्रानी॥२॥
अस बिचारि खल बधउँ न तोही। अब जनि रिस उपजावसि मोही॥ सुनि सकोप कह निसिचर नाथा। अधर दसन दसि मीजत हाथा॥३॥
रे कपि अधम मरन अब चहसी। छोटे बदन बात बड़ि कहसी॥ कटु जल्पसि जड़ कपि बल जाकें। बल प्रताप बुधि तेज न ताकें॥४॥
Meaning
“Even if I did so, it would hardly bring me any credit; for it is no act of valour to slay the already slain. A follower of the Vāmamārga (a sect of Śakti-worshippers indulging in certain prohibited practices as a part of their worship), a man given over to lust, a miser, a grossly stupid fellow, an utterly destitute person, a man suffering from disrepute, an extremely old man, (1) “an ever sick person, one who is always angry, he who is hostile to Lord Viṣṇu, an enemy of the Vedas and saints, he who exclusively nourishes his own body, he who is given to slandering others, and he who is a storehouse of sins—these fourteen persons are no better than corpses, even while they are alive. (2) “Realizing this, O wretch, I refrain from killing you. But rouse my anger no more.” On hearing this, the demon king bit his lips, wrung his hands and burst out furiously: (3) “O vile monkey, you are now bent upon dying; for though small, you have spoken big words. He, on whose strength you dare utter such wild and sharp words, O stupid monkey, has no strength, glory, intelligence or majesty at all. (4)
अगुन अमान जानि तेहि दीन्ह पिता बनबास। सो दुख अरु जुबती बिरह पुनि निसि दिन मम त्रास॥३१ (क)॥
जिन्ह के बल कर गर्ब तोहि अइसे मनुज अनेक। खाहिं निसाचर दिवस निसि मूढ़ समुझु तजि टेक॥३१ (ख)॥
Meaning
“Finding him devoid of merit and self-esteem, his father sent him into exile. Apart from that sorrow, separation from his wife is telling on him, and above all, he is constantly obsessed with terror of me. (31 A) “The demons devour day and night many such men as he, of whose might you are so proud; realize this, O fool, and cease to be perverse.” (31 B)
