पर त्रिय लम्पट कपट सयाने । मोह द्रोह ममता लपटाने ॥
तेइ अभेद-वादी ज्ञानी नर । देखा मैं चरित्र कलिजुग कर ॥
para triya lampaṭa kapaṭa sayāne | moha droha mamatā lapaṭāne ||
tei abheda-vādī jñānī nara | dekhā maiṃ caritra kalijuga kara ||

What happens in this chapter
Kali's mixing of varnas and the path abandoned
Kakbhushundi tells Garuda what more he saw in that age. Lustful, cunning men steeped in malice called themselves knowers of non-duality; lost themselves, they dragged down those on the true path, and those who attack the Shruti with argument fall into hell kalpa after kalpa. Men of low birth whose wives had died and homes were ruined shaved their heads, became sannyasis and had brahmins worship them. Brahmins grew unlettered and greedy; shudras sat on the high seat reciting the Puranas. Everyone made up his own conduct. The varnas mixed and every bound broke. People will not walk the Shruti's path of Hari-bhakti with detachment, and invent sects instead.
आपु गये अरु तिन्हहूँ घालहिँ । जे कहुँ सत-मारग प्रतिपालहिँ ॥
कल्प कल्प अरि एक एक नरका । परहिँ जे दूषहिँ श्रुति करि तरका ॥
āpu gaye aru tinhahūm̐ ghālahim̐ | je kahum̐ sata-māraga pratipālahim̐ ||
kalpa kalpa ari eka eka narakā | parahim̐ je dūṣahim̐ śruti kari tarakā ||
जे बरनाधम तेलि कुम्हारा । स्वपच किरात कोल कलवारा ॥
नारि मुई गृह सम्पति नासी । मूड़ मुड़ाइ होहिं सन्यासी ॥
je baranādhama teli kumhārā | svapaca kirāta kola kalavārā ||
nāri muī gṛha sampati nāsī | mūr̤a mur̤āi hohiṃ sanyāsī ||
ते बिप्रन्ह सन पाँच पुजावहिँ । उभय लोक निज हाथ नसावहिँ ॥
बिप्र निरच्छर लोलुप कामी । निराचार सठ बृषली स्वामी ॥
te bipranha sana pām̐ca pujāvahim̐ | ubhaya loka nija hātha nasāvahim̐ ||
bipra niracchara lolupa kāmī | nirācāra saṭha bṛṣalī svāmī ||
सूद्र कहिँ जप तप व्रत नाना । बैठि बरासन कहहिँ पुराना ॥
सब नर कल्पित करहिँ अचारा । जाइ न बरनि अनीति अपारा ॥
sūdra kahim̐ japa tapa vrata nānā | baiṭhi barāsana kahahim̐ purānā ||
saba nara kalpita karahim̐ acārā | jāi na barani anīti apārā ||
भये बरन सङ्कर कलि, भिन्नसेतु सब लोग ।
करहिं पाप पावहिँ दुख, भय रुज सोक बियोग ॥
bhaye barana saṅkara kali, bhinnasetu saba loga |
karahiṃ pāpa pāvahim̐ dukha, bhaya ruja soka biyoga ||
श्रुति संमत हरि भक्ति-पथ, संजुत बिरति बिबेक ।
तेहि न चलहिँ नर मोह बस, कल्पहिँ पन्थ अनेक ॥
śruti saṃmata hari bhakti-patha, saṃjuta birati bibeka |
tehi na calahim̐ nara moha basa, kalpahim̐ pantha aneka ||
