Doha 100b
पर त्रिय लंपट कपट सयाने। मोह द्रोह ममता लपटाने॥ तेइ अभेदबादी ग्यानी नर। देखा मैं चरित्र कलिजुग कर॥ १॥
आपु गए अरु तिन्हहू घालहिं। जे कहुँ सत मारग प्रतिपालहिं॥ कल्प कल्प भरि एक एक नरका। परहिं जे दूषहिं श्रुति करि तरका॥ २॥
जे बरनाधम तेलि कुम्हारा। स्वपच किरात कोल कलवारा॥ नारि मुई गृह संपति नासी। मूड़ मुड़ाइ होहिं संन्यासी॥ ३॥
ते बिप्रन्ह सन आपु पुजावहिं। उभय लोक निज हाथ नसावहिं॥ बिप्र निरच्छर लोलुप कामी। निराचार सठ बृषली स्वामी॥ ४॥
सूद्र करहिं जप तप ब्रत नाना। बैठि बरासन कहहिं पुराना॥ सब नर कल्पित करहिं अचारा। जाइ न बरनि अनीति अपारा॥ ५॥
Meaning
“They alone who are covetous of another’s wife and are clever at wiles and steeped in delusion, malice and worldly attachment are enlightened men swearing by the identity of the individual soul with Brahma. Such is the practice I have seen in every Kali age. (1) “Doomed themselves, such people bring ruin even to those rare souls who tread the path of virtue. They who find fault with the Vedas by dint of logic are condemned to each and every hell for a whole Kalpa (cycle). (2) “People of the lowest grade in society such as oil-men, potters, the outcaste (lit., those who cook and feed on the flesh of a dog), the Kirātas and Kolas and the distillers of spirituous liquors get their heads shaved and enter the order of Saṁnyāsa (renunciation) when their wife is dead and they have lost their household property. (3) “They allow themselves to be worshipped by the Brāhmaṇas and bring ruin to themselves here as well as hereafter. As for the Brāhmaṇas, they are unlettered, grasping, lascivious, reprobate and stupid and marry low-caste women of lewd character. (4) “Śūdras, on the other hand, practise Japa (the muttering of prayers) and austere penance, undertake sacred vows of various kinds and expound the Purāṇas sitting on an exalted seat. All men follow a course of conduct of their own imagination; the endless variety of wrong doings cannot be described in words. (5)
भए बरन संकर कलि भिन्नसेतु सब लोग। करहिं पाप पावहिं दुख भय रुज सोक बियोग॥ १०० (क)॥
श्रुति संमत हरि भक्ति पथ संजुत बिरति बिबेक। तेहिं न चलहिं नर मोह बस कल्पहिं पंथ अनेक॥ १०० (ख)॥
Meaning
“In the age of Kali there ensues a confusion of castes (due to promiscuous inter-caste marriages) and everyone infringes the sacred laws. Men perpetrate sins and undergo suffering, terror, disease, sorrow and desolation. (100 A) “Overcome by delusion they walk not in the path of Devotion to Śrī Hari, conjoined with dispassion and wisdom—a path which has the approval of the Vedas and invent diverse creeds of their own.
