Kakbhushundi sets the four yugas side by side for Garuda. In Krita men are yogis who cross by meditating on Hari. In Treta they cross by yajnas offered to the Lord. In Dvapara they cross by worshipping Raghupati's feet. In Kali there is no yoga, yajna or knowledge; the one support is singing Rama's virtues. Whoever drops every other reliance and sings them with love will cross, beyond doubt, for the Name's power is plain in Kali. Kali has a further grace: good intentions count as merit, while sins of the mind are not counted. With faith, no age equals it. Of dharma's four feet, charity now leads; given in any way, it brings good.
कृतजुग सब जोगी विज्ञानी । करि हरि ध्यान तरहिँ भव प्रानी ॥
त्रेताँ विविध जग्य नर करहीं । प्रभुहि समर्पि करम भव तरहीं ॥
kṛtajuga saba jogī vijñānī | kari hari dhyāna tarahim̐ bhava prānī ||
tretām̐ vividha jagya nara karahīṃ | prabhuhi samarpi karama bhava tarahīṃ ||
द्वापर करि रघुपति पद पूजा । नर भव तरहिं उपाय न दूजा ॥
कलिजुग केवल हरि गुन गाहा । गावत नर पावहिँ भव थाहा ॥
dvāpara kari raghupati pada pūjā | nara bhava tarahiṃ upāya na dūjā ||
kalijuga kevala hari guna gāhā | gāvata nara pāvahim̐ bhava thāhā ||
कलिजुग जोग न जज्ञ न ज्ञाना । एक अधार राम गुन गाना ॥
सब भरोस तजि जो भज रामहि । प्रेम समेत गाव गुन ग्रामहि ॥
kalijuga joga na jajña na jñānā | eka adhāra rāma guna gānā ||
saba bharosa taji jo bhaja rāmahi | prema sameta gāva guna grāmahi ||
सोइ भव तर कछु संसय नाहीँ । नाम प्रताप प्रगट कलि माहीं ॥
कलि कर एक पुनीत प्रतापा । मानस पुन्य होहिँ नहिँ पापा ॥
soi bhava tara kachu saṃsaya nāhīm̐ | nāma pratāpa pragaṭa kali māhīṃ ||
kali kara eka punīta pratāpā | mānasa punya hohim̐ nahim̐ pāpā ||
कलिजुग सम जुग आन नहिँ, मैं नर कर विस्वास ।
गाइ राम गुन गन बिमलँ, भव तर बिनहिं प्रयास ॥
kalijuga sama juga āna nahim̐, maiṃ nara kara visvāsa |
gāi rāma guna gana bimalam̐, bhava tara binahiṃ prayāsa ||
प्रगट चारि पद धरम के, कलिल महँ एक प्रधान ।
जेन केन विधि दीन्हें, दान करइ कल्यान ॥
pragaṭa cāri pada dharama ke, kalila maham̐ eka pradhāna |
jena kena vidhi dīnheṃ, dāna karai kalyāna ||
