Lachhimanahhun yah maramu na jana
Chaupai 3, Under Doha 24 · Aranya Kand
Chaupai Text
लछिमनहूँ यह मरमु न जाना। जो कछु चरित रचा भगवाना॥ दसमुख गयउ जहाँ मारीचा। नाइ माथ स्वारथ रत नीचा॥ ३ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
lachimanhūṃ yaha maramu na jānā। jo kachu carita racā bhagavānā॥ dasamukha gayau jahām̐ mārīcā। nāi mātha svāratha rata nīcā॥ 3 ॥
Meaning
Lakshmana too did not understand this secret—that whatever play the Lord had arranged. Ravana, low and devoted to self-interest, went to Maricha and bowed his head to him.
