Doha 102b
अबला कच भूषन भूरि छुधा। धनहीन दुखी ममता बहुधा॥ सुख चाहहिं मूढ़ न धर्म रता। मति थोरि कठोरि न कोमलता॥ १॥
नर पीड़ित रोग न भोग कहीं । अभिमान बिरोध अकारनहीं ॥ लघु जीवन संबतु पंच दसा । कलपांत न नास गुमानु असा ॥ २ ॥
कलिकाल बिहाल किए मनुजा । नहिं मानत क्वौ अनुजा तनुजा ॥ नहिं तोष बिचार न सीतलता । सब जाति कुजाति भए मगता ॥ ३ ॥
इरिषा परुषाच्छर लोलुपता । भरि पूरि रही समता बिगता ॥ सब लोग बियोग बिसोक हए । बरनाश्रम धर्म अचार गए ॥ ४ ॥
दम दान दया नहिं जानपनी । जड़ता परबंचनताति घनी ॥ तनु पोषक नारि नरा सगरे । परनिंदक जे जग मो बगरे ॥ ५ ॥
Meaning
“Women have no ornament except their tresses and have an enormous appetite (they always remain unsatiated). Though miserable for want of money, they are rich in attachments of various kinds. Though hankering after happiness they love not piety, stupid as they are. Though they are poor in wits, their mind is hardened and knows no tenderness. (1) “As for men, they are tormented with diseases and find no enjoyment anywhere. They are conceited and contend with others without any rhyme or reason. Men’s life is short, say, five to ten years; yet in their pride they reckon on surviving the end of creation. (2) “The age of Kali has driven men mad; no one respects the sanctity even of one’s sister or daughter. There is neither contentment, nor discernment nor composure. People of all classes, whether of high or low caste, have become beggars. (3) “Envy, harsh words and covetousness are rampant; while evenness of mind is absent. People are all smitten with bereavement and deep sorrow. The duties and rules of conduct prescribed for the four orders of society and stages in life are neglected. (4) “Self-control, charity, compassion and wisdom disappear; while stupidity and fraud multiply to a large extent. Men and women all pamper their body; while slanderers are rampant all over the world. (5)
सुनु ब्यालारि काल कलि मल अवगुन आगार । गुनउँ बहुत कलिजुग कर बिनु प्रयास निस्तार ॥ १०२ (क) ॥
कृतजुग त्रेताँ द्वापर पूजा मख अरु जोग । जो गति होइ सो कलि हरि नाम ते पावहिं लोग ॥ १०२ (ख) ॥
Meaning
“Listen, O enemy of serpents, Garuḍa: the age of Kali is a repository of impurities and vices. But it has one important virtue, too: final emancipation is possible in this age without any exertion. (102 A) “Moreover, the same goal, which is reached through worship of God, performance of sacrifices or practice of Yoga in the Satyayuga, Tretā and Dvāpara, men are able to attain through the name of Śrī Hari in the Kali age.
