Leaving Rama and Priya, he chants the name of Ananda. Like the son of a prostitute, who can say who his father is?

Kabir uses this couplet to critique superficial devotion. He suggests that abandoning true love (Rama and Priya) merely to chant an external name (Ananda) is meaningless. By comparing this person to a prostitute's son, Kabir highlights the utter confusion and lack of true lineage in such devotion. The message is clear: mere recitation of a name cannot replace the depth of genuine, heartfelt connection.
