Some are sent on pilgrimages
And they demand all the wealth of the house. 68.
The person whom (it) the rich see,
They trap him in the cycle of lice.
Then they give a lot of punishment on his head
And then they make him pay (that is, collect) 69.
These people only hope for money.
There is no thirst for Sri Bhagavan.
(They) spread hypocrisy to the world
And like how they bring money by beating. 70.
Brahmin said:
O daughter! Listen, you don't know the (real) thing
And considers Shiva as a stone.
Brahmins are bowed down by all
And they take Charnodak (Charnamrit) from them and offer it on the forehead. 71.
The whole world worships them
Whose fool! You slander
These Brahmins are very ancient
Whom the great kings always advise. 72.
Raj Kumari said:
O foolish Brahmin! Listen, you don't know
And considering the stone as Param Joti.
You have understood the Supreme Being in these (stones).
Having left wisdom, he has become arrogant. 73.
adamant:
O Brahman! Take what (you) have to take, but don't tell me lies
And do not hear me calling God in stone.
By calling these people Shiva in stones
Rob the fools with pleasure. 74.
Someone (you) calls God in stone.
Sends someone on pilgrimages to take a dip in the water.
Like how one earns money by making countless efforts.
(He knows) the money in (whose) bundle he does not let go home without taking it. 75.
Seeing a rich person, Brahmins blame (someone) (sin).
Many kinds of homa and yagya are performed from him.
They eat the wealth of the rich and make (him) destitute.
Then they do not come and show him face to face. 76.
twenty four:
Some are sent on pilgrimages
And the sadhana (upa, 'experiment') of many is unsuccessful.
They hover over money like crows.
77
As two dogs fight over a bone.
In the same way, suppose two scholars bark during a debate.
From outside they talk about the Vedas,
But the mind and body remain attached to the worship of wealth. 78.
dual:
The hope of wealth lives in the mind and worships the deity externally.
