नारि बिबस नर सकल गोसाँई । नाचहिँ नट मरकट की नाई ॥
सूद्र द्विजन्ह उपदेसहिँ ज्ञानी । मेलि जनेऊ लेहिँ कुदाना ॥
nāri bibasa nara sakala gosām̐ī | nācahim̐ naṭa marakaṭa kī nāī ||
sūdra dvijanha upadesahim̐ jñānī | meli janeū lehim̐ kudānā ||

What happens in this chapter
Kali's households, gurus and pupils undone
Kakbhushundi continues the signs of Kali for Garuda. Men dance at their wives' bidding like a showman's monkey. Shudras lecture the twice-born on knowledge, and men wear the sacred thread to take wrongful gifts. All are ruled by lust, greed and anger, hostile to Vedas, brahmins and saints. Wives leave worthy husbands; married women go unadorned while widows dress up. Guru and pupil are deaf and blind together, and a guru who takes money but not sorrow falls into hell. Parents teach only the dharma of the belly. Everyone talks of Brahman, yet for a cowrie will kill a brahmin or guru, and shudras glare at the twice-born, asking how they are less.
सब नर काम लोभ रत क्रोधी । बेद विप्र श्रुति सन्त बिरोधी ॥
गुन मन्दिर सुन्दर पति त्यागी । भजहिँ नारि पर पुरुष अभागी ॥
saba nara kāma lobha rata krodhī | beda vipra śruti santa birodhī ||
guna mandira sundara pati tyāgī | bhajahim̐ nāri para puruṣa abhāgī ||
सौभागिनीं बिभूषन हीना । बिधवन्ह के सिङ्गार नबीना ॥
गुरु सिष बधिर अन्ध कर लेखा । एक न सुनइ एक नहिँ देखा ॥
saubhāginīṃ bibhūṣana hīnā | bidhavanha ke siṅgāra nabīnā ||
guru siṣa badhira andha kara lekhā | eka na sunai eka nahim̐ dekhā ||
हरइ सिष्य धन सोक न हरई । सो गुरु घोर नरक महुँ परई ॥
मातु पिता बालकन्हि बोलाबहिं । उदर भरै सोइ धर्म सिखावहिँ ॥
harai siṣya dhana soka na haraī | so guru ghora naraka mahum̐ paraī ||
mātu pitā bālakanhi bolābahiṃ | udara bharai soi dharma sikhāvahim̐ ||
ब्रह्म ग्यान बिनु नारि नर, कहहिं न दूसरि बात ।
कौड़ी लागि लोभ बस, करहिं विप्र गुरु घात ॥
brahma gyāna binu nāri nara, kahahiṃ na dūsari bāta |
kaur̤ī lāgi lobha basa, karahiṃ vipra guru ghāta ||
बादहिँ सूद्र द्विजन्ह सन, हम तुम्ह तँ कछु घाटि ।
जानइ ब्रह्म सो बिप्रबर आँखि देखावहिं डाटि ॥
bādahim̐ sūdra dvijanha sana, hama tumha tam̐ kachu ghāṭi |
jānai brahma so biprabara ām̐khi dekhāvahiṃ ḍāṭi ||
