बायस पलिअहिं अति अनुरागा । होहिँ निरामिष कबहुँ कि कागा ॥

bāyasa paliahiṃ ati anurāgā | hohim̐ nirāmiṣa kabahum̐ ki kāgā ||

What happens in this chapter
Saint and sinner born from one ocean
Tulsidas has made his plea, but the wicked will not change; a crow fed with love never gives up flesh. So he bows to both the saint and the wicked, for both give pain. One takes our life when he leaves; the other brings dreadful pain when he comes. They are born together, as lotus and leech from the same water, and as nectar and wine from the one deep ocean. Each earns fame or disgrace by his own deeds. The saint stands with nectar, the moon and the Ganga; the wicked with poison, fire and the river of Kali's filth. Everyone knows good from bad, yet each likes what suits his nature. The doha says nectar is praised for deathlessness, poison for death.
बन्दउँ सन्त असज्जन चरना । दुख-प्रद-उभय बीच कछु बरना ॥
बिछुरत एक प्रान हरि लेहीं । मिलत एक दुख दारुन दुख देहीं ॥
bandaum̐ santa asajjana caranā | dukha-prada-ubhaya bīca kachu baranā ||
bichurata eka prāna hari lehīṃ | milata eka dukha dāruna dukha dehīṃ ||
उपजहिँ एक सङ्ग जग माहीं । जलज जोँक जिमि गुन बिलगाहीं ॥
सुधा सुरा सम साधू असाधू । जनक एक जग जलधि अगाधू ॥
upajahim̐ eka saṅga jaga māhīṃ | jalaja jom̐ka jimi guna bilagāhīṃ ||
sudhā surā sama sādhū asādhū | janaka eka jaga jaladhi agādhū ||
भल अनभल निज निज करतूती । लहत सुजस अपलोक बिभूती ॥
सुधा-सुधाकर-सुरसरि-साधू । गरल-अनल-कलिमल सरि ब्याधू ॥
bhala anabhala nija nija karatūtī | lahata sujasa apaloka bibhūtī ||
sudhā-sudhākara-surasari-sādhū | garala-anala-kalimala sari byādhū ||
गुन अवगुन जानत सब कोई । जो जेहि भाव नीक तेहि सोई ॥
guna avaguna jānata saba koī | jo jehi bhāva nīka tehi soī ||
भलो भलाइहि पै लहइ, लहइ निचाइहि नीचु ।
सुधा सराहिअ अमरताँ, गरल सराहिअ मीचु ॥
bhalo bhalāihi pai lahai, lahai nicāihi nīcu |
sudhā sarāhia amaratām̐, garala sarāhia mīcu ||
