Doha 103b
कृतजुग सब जोगी बिग्यानी । करि हरि ध्यान तरहिं भव प्रानी ॥ त्रेताँ बिबिध जग्य नर करहीं । प्रभुहि समर्पि कर्म भव तरहीं ॥ १ ॥
द्वापर करि रघुपति पद पूजा । नर भव तरहिं उपाय न दूजा ॥ कलिजुग केवल हरि गुन गाहा । गावत नर पावहिं भव थाहा ॥ २ ॥
कलिजुग जोग न जग्य न ग्याना । एक अधार राम गुन गाना ॥ सब भरोस तजि जो भज रामहि । प्रेम समेत गाव गुन ग्रामहि ॥ ३ ॥
सोइ भव तर कछु संसय नाहीं । नाम प्रताप प्रगट कलि माहीं ॥ कलि कर एक पुनीत प्रतापा । मानस पुन्य होहिं नहिं पापा ॥ ४ ॥
Meaning
“In the Satyayuga everyone is a Yogī and Vijñānī (wise). Hence in that age men cross the ocean of mundane existence by meditating on Śrī Hari. In the Tretā age men perform sacrifices of various kinds and cross the ocean of metempsychosis by dedicating their actions to the Lord. (1) “In the Dvāpara age men cross the ocean of worldly existence by adoring the feet of Śrī Raghunātha, there being no other means to achieve it. In the Kali age, however, men reach the end of mundane existence simply by chanting Śrī Hari’s glories. (2) “In the age of Kali neither Yoga (concentration of mind), nor the performance of sacrifices nor spiritual wisdom is of any avail; one’s only hope lies in singing Śrī Rāma’s glories. Giving up all other hopes, whosoever worships Śrī Rāma and fondly chants His glories undoubtedly crosses the ocean of transmigration. (3) “The power of the Name is thus manifest in the age of Kali. The Kali age possesses another sacred virtue: in this age projected (mentally thought of) acts of virtue are rewarded, but projected (just thought of) sins are not punished. (4)
कलिजुग सम जुग आन नहिं जौं नर कर बिस्वास । गाइ राम गुन गन बिमल भव तर बिनहिं प्रयास ॥ १०३ (क) ॥
प्रगट चारि पद धर्म के कलि महुँ एक प्रधान । जेन केन बिधि दीन्हें दान करइ कल्यान ॥ १०३ (ख) ॥
Meaning
“No other age can compare with the Kali age provided a man has faith in its virtue, for in this age one can easily cross the ocean of transmigration simply by singing Śrī Rāma’s holy glories. (103 A) “Piety has four well-known pillars, of which one is predominant in the Kali: charity practised in any form conduces to one’s spiritual good. (103 B)
