नित जुग धर्म होहिँ सब केरे । हृदयँ राम माया के प्रेरे ॥
सुद्ध सत्व समता विज्ञाना । कृत प्रभाव प्रसन्न बन जाना ॥
nita juga dharma hohim̐ saba kere | hṛdayam̐ rāma māyā ke prere ||
suddha satva samatā vijñānā | kṛta prabhāva prasanna bana jānā ||

What happens in this chapter
The gunas of each yuga; leaving Ayodhya
Kakbhushundi explains to Garuda that every yuga's dharma rises at all times in each heart, moved by Rama's maya. Pure sattva and a glad, even mind is Krita. Much sattva with some rajas and love of ritual is Treta. Much rajas, a little sattva and tamas, with joy and fear in the mind, is Dvapara. Much tamas and strife all round is Kali. The wise read the yuga in their own minds and hold to dharma. The age cannot touch one who loves Raghupati's feet; the showman's tricks do not fool his own servant. Then the story resumes: after many years in Avadh, famine drove him abroad.
सत्व बहुत रज कछु रति कर्मा । सब विधि रुख त्रेता कर धर्मा ॥
बहु रज स्वल्प सत्व कछु तामस । द्वापर धर्म हरष भय मानस ॥
satva bahuta raja kachu rati karmā | saba vidhi rukha tretā kara dharmā ||
bahu raja svalpa satva kachu tāmasa | dvāpara dharma haraṣa bhaya mānasa ||
तामस बहुत रजोगुन थोरा । कलि प्रभाव बिरोध चहुँ ओरा ॥
बुध जुग धरम जानि मन माहीं । तजि अधर्म रति धर्म कराहीं ॥
tāmasa bahuta rajoguna thorā | kali prabhāva birodha cahum̐ orā ||
budha juga dharama jāni mana māhīṃ | taji adharma rati dharma karāhīṃ ||
काल धरम नहिं ब्यापहिँ ताही । रघुपति चरन प्रीति अति जाही ॥
नट कृत बिकट कपट खगराया । नट सेवकहि न व्यापइ माया ॥
kāla dharama nahiṃ byāpahim̐ tāhī | raghupati carana prīti ati jāhī ||
naṭa kṛta bikaṭa kapaṭa khagarāyā | naṭa sevakahi na vyāpai māyā ||
हरि माया कृत दोष गुन, बिनु हरि भजन न जाहिँ ।
भजिअ राम तजि काम सब, अस बिचारि मन माहिँ ॥
hari māyā kṛta doṣa guna, binu hari bhajana na jāhim̐ |
bhajia rāma taji kāma saba, asa bicāri mana māhim̐ ||
तेहि कलिकाल बरष बहु, बसेउँ अवध बिहगेस ।
परेउ दुकाल बिपति बस, तब मैं गयउँ बिदेस ॥
tehi kalikāla baraṣa bahu, baseum̐ avadha bihagesa |
pareu dukāla bipati basa, taba maiṃ gayaum̐ bidesa ||
