अज्ञ अकोबिद अन्ध अभागी । काई बिषय मुकुर-मन लागी ॥
लम्पट कपटी कुटिल बिसेखी । सपनेहुँ सन्त-सभा नहिँ देखी ॥
ajña akobida andha abhāgī | kāī biṣaya mukura-mana lāgī ||
lampaṭa kapaṭī kuṭila bisekhī | sapanehum̐ santa-sabhā nahim̐ dekhī ||

Who speaks against the Veda about Rama
Shiva describes such people. They are ignorant, unlearned, blind and unlucky; the moss of sense objects coats the mirror of their minds. They say things against the Veda, unable to tell gain from loss. With a dirty mirror and no eyes, how can the poor wretches see Rama's form? Those who cannot discern either the formless or the form babble many made-up words. Like the windy, the possessed and the drunk, they do not speak with thought; do not lend an ear to those who have drunk the wine of great delusion. Weigh this in your heart, Shiva says; give up doubt and worship Rama's feet. My words are rays of the sun against the darkness of confusion.
कहहिँ ते बेद असंमत बानी । जिन्हहिँ कें सूझ लाभ नहिँ हानी ॥
मुकुर मलिन अरु नयन बिहीना । राम-रूप देखहिँ किमि दीना ॥
kahahim̐ te beda asaṃmata bānī | jinhahim̐ keṃ sūjha lābha nahim̐ hānī ||
mukura malina aru nayana bihīnā | rāma-rūpa dekhahim̐ kimi dīnā ||
जिन्ह कें अगुन न सगुन बिबेका । जल्पहिँ कल्पित बचन अनेका ॥
हरि-माया-बस जगत भ्रमाहीँ । तिन्हहिँ कहत कछु अघटित नाहीँ ॥
jinha keṃ aguna na saguna bibekā | jalpahim̐ kalpita bacana anekā ||
hari-māyā-basa jagata bhramāhīm̐ | tinhahim̐ kahata kachu aghaṭita nāhīm̐ ||
बातुल भूत-बिबस मतवारे । ते नहिँ बोलहिँ बचन बिचारे ॥
जिन्ह कृत महा-मोह-मद पाना । तिन्ह कर कहा करिय नहिँ काना ॥
bātula bhūta-bibasa matavāre | te nahim̐ bolahim̐ bacana bicāre ||
jinha kṛta mahā-moha-mada pānā | tinha kara kahā kariya nahim̐ kānā ||
अस निज हृदयँ बिचारि, तजु संसय भजु राम-पद ।
सुनु गिरिराज-कुमारि, भ्रम-तम रबि-कर-बचन-मम ॥
asa nija hṛdayam̐ bicāri, taju saṃsaya bhaju rāma-pada |
sunu girirāja-kumāri, bhrama-tama rabi-kara-bacana-mama ||
