वैष्ण्वेभ्यश्च दीनेभ्यो ब्राह्मणेभ्यः प्रदाय सा
सर्वं कुलधनं साध्वी बृन्दावनमुपागता ||
वैराग्यपरिपूर्णा च कावायपरिवेष्टिता
ऊर्ध्वपुण्ड्रलसत्फाला तुलसीमणिमालिका ||
शाकमूलफलाहारा जटिला विजितेन्द्रिया
तुम्बवीणां वादयन्ती कुर्वन्ती कृष्णकीर्तनम् ||
पवित्रे यमुनातीरे कृष्णध्यानपरायणा
अनाथेव चचरैव लोकनाथमवाप्य सा ||
She gave away her entire family treasure to the vaishnavas, brahmanas and the poor and reached Shri Brindavan. Karmathabai, the detached woman wore a saffron dress, a rosary of Tulasi beads round her neck and had Orrdhva Tilak on her forehead. She ate only roots and fruits. She had her hair put up in matted locks. She had completely subdued her senses. All the time she was was playing on her Tambur singing the praise of Lord Shri Krishna. She was wandering like an orphan though she had got the Lokanatha, Shri Bhagavan as her Lord.
