Bhrata pita putra urgari

Chaupai 3, Under Doha 17 · Aranya Kand

Chaupai Text

भ्राता पिता पुत्र उरगारी। पुरुष मनोहर निरखत नारी॥ होइ बिकल सक मनहि न रोकी। जिमि रबिमनि द्रव रबिहि बिलोकी॥ ३ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

bhrātā pitā putra uragārī। puruṣa manohara nirakhata nārī॥ hoi bikala saka manahi na rokī। jimi rabimani drava rabihi bilokī॥ 3 ॥

Meaning

O Garuda, says Kakabhushundi, a woman like Shurpanakha—devoid of religious understanding and blinded by desire—becomes restless on seeing a handsome man, whether he be brother, father, or son, and cannot restrain her mind, just as the sun-stone melts at the sight of the sun.

Context

This is Chaupai 3, Under Doha 17 from Aranya Kand, in the episode “Dwelling at Panchavati”. The episode describes Rama's profound teaching to Lakshmana on knowledge, detachment, maya, and devotion at Panchavati.
