Doha 40
लोभइ ओढ़न लोभइ डासन। सिस्नोदर पर जमपुर त्रास न॥ काहू की जौं सुनहिं बड़ाई। स्वास लेहिं जनु जूड़ी आई॥१॥
जब काहू कै देखहिं बिपती। सुखी भए मानहुँ जग नृपती॥ स्वारथ रत परिवार बिरोधी। लंपट काम लोभ अति क्रोधी॥२॥
मातु पिता गुर बिप्र न मानहिं। आपु गए अरु घालहिं आनहिं॥ करहिं मोह बस द्रोह परावा। संत संग हरि कथा न भावा॥३॥
अवगुन सिंधु मंदमति कामी। बेद बिदूषक परधन स्वामी॥ बिप्र द्रोह पर द्रोह बिसेषा। दंभ कपट जियँ धरें सुबेषा॥४॥
Meaning
“Greed is their covering and greed their bedding (they wallow in greed; they are ever given up to sexual enjoyment and gluttony and have no (fearful) thought of punishment in the abode of Yama (the god of death). If they ever hear anyone exalted, they heave a deep sigh as though they had an attack of ague. (1) “On the other hand, when they find someone in distress, they feel delighted as though they had attained the sovereignty of the whole world. Devoted to their own selfish interests, they are inimical towards their own kinsfolk, are given up to sensuality and greed and are most irascible. (2) “They recognize neither mother nor father nor preceptor nor the Brāhmaṇas; utterly ruined themselves, they bring ruin upon others. Overcome by infatuation they bear malice to others and have no love for communion with saints nor for the episodes relating to Śrī Hari. (3) “Ocean of vice, dull-witted and lascivious, they revile the Vedas and usurp others’ wealth. Though bearing malice to all, they are enemies of the Brāhmaṇas in particular; and full of hypocrisy and deceit at heart, they outwardly wear a saintly appearance. (4)
ऐसे अधम मनुज खल कृतजुग त्रेताँ नाहिं। द्वापर कछुक बृंद बहु होइहहिं कलिजुग माहिं॥४०॥
Meaning
“Such vile and wicked men are absent in the Satya and Tretā Yugas; a sprinkling of them will appear in Dvāpara, while multitudes of them will crop forth in the Kali age. (40)
