Verse 1

O my dear brothers! You devotedly engage in the worship of the material bodies of human beings, and yet you dare to sing songs about ecstatic spiritual emotions (bhāva). You expertly conceal your own secret activities, but all of them will be fully exposed in Yamarāja's court.

Verse 2

Considering women to be hermaphrodites and men to be eunuchs makes one a member of the Karttā-bhajā sect. On the pretext of this deviant thinking you engage in mundane sense gratification, thus deluding even your own minds.

Verse 3

Although your mouths proclaim "the guru is reality," O brothers, you revel in mundane sense pleasures.vi You freely associate with envious non-devotees-how then will you ever become purified?

Verse 4

The heart of the jīva becomes greatly agitated by absorption in the association of materialistic women as well as greed for wealth-does a true Bāul become attracted by the glitter of these worldly things?vii A cricket is attracted by a flame and jumps straight into it, thereby meeting death.

Verse 5

Chāṅd Bāul very humbly suggests, "Giving up all these degrading things, please chant the name of Hari in a purified manner. Then you will surely cross beyond the ocean of material suffering."
