# Uttar Kand · Doha 104b

**चौ०** 
> नित जुग धर्म होहिं सब केरे । हृदयँ राम माया के प्रेरे ॥  
> सुद्ध सत्व समता बिग्याना । कृत प्रभाव प्रसन्न मन जाना ॥ १ ॥

**चौ०** 
> सत्व बहुत रज कछु रति कर्मा । सब बिधि सुख त्रेता कर धर्मा ॥  
> बहु रज स्वल्प सत्व कछु तामस । द्वापर धर्म हरष भय मानस ॥ २ ॥

**चौ०** 
> तामस बहुत रजोगुन थोरा । कलि प्रभाव बिरोध चहुँ ओरा ॥  
> बुध जुग धर्म जानि मन माहीं । तजि अधर्म रति धर्म कराहीं ॥ ३ ॥

**चौ०** 
> काल धर्म नहिं ब्यापहिं ताही । रघुपति चरन प्रीति अति जाही ॥  
> नट कृत बिकट कपट खगराया । नट सेवकहि न ब्यापइ माया ॥ ४ ॥

Meaning: “Prompted by Śrī Rāma’s delusive potency (Māyā), the characteristics of all the four Yugas manifest themselves in everyone’s heart all the time. The presence of pure Sattva (harmony), evenness of mind, spiritual insight and the feeling of vivacity in the heart are the effects of Satyayuga. (1)

“Abundance of Sattva with a slight admixture of Rajas, attachment to action, and happiness of every kind are the characteristics of Tretā. Much Rajas, little Sattva, and some Tamas, with a feeling of mingled joy and fear in the heart, are the distinguishing features of Dvāpara. (2)

“A large proportion of Tamas with a slight admixture of Rajas and antagonism everywhere are the effects of Kali. The wise discern the characteristics of the different Yugas in their mind and forswearing unrighteousness, devote themselves to piety. (3)

“The characteristics of the Time-Spirit have no effect on him who is very much devoted to Śrī Rāma’s feet. The deception practised by a juggler, O king of birds, is formidable indeed for the viewers, but the tricks of a juggler cannot deceive his attendant.(4)

**दो०** 
> हरि माया कृत दोष गुन बिनु हरि भजन न जाहिं ।  
> भजिअ राम तजि काम सब अस बिचारि मन माहिं ॥ १०४ (क) ॥

**दो०** 
> तेहिं कलिकाल बरष बहु बसेउँ अवध बिहगेस ।  
> परेउ दुकाल बिपति बस तब मैं गयउँ बिदेस ॥ १०४ (ख) ॥

Meaning: “The good and evil, which are the creation of Śrī Hari’s delusive potency, cannot be eliminated except through worship of Śrī Hari. Bearing this in mind, and forswearing all desire, one should adore Śrī Hari. (104 A)

“In that particular age of Kali, O lord of the winged creatures, I lived in Ayodhyā for many years till a famine occurred there, when, stricken by adversity, I had to move to another place. (104 B)
