Chaupai Text
संग लाइ करिनीं करि लेहीं। मानहुँ मोहि सिखावनु देहीं॥ सास्त्र सुचिंतित पुनि पुनि देखिअ। भूप सुसेवित बस नहिं लेखिअ॥ ४ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
saṃga lāi karinīṃ kari lehīṃ। mānahuṃ mohi sikhāvanu dehīṃ॥ sāstra suciṃtita puni puni dekhi'a। bhūpa susevita basa nahiṃ lekhi'a॥ 4 ॥
Meaning
Elephants keep the females with them, as if teaching me that a woman should never be left alone. Even carefully considered scriptures should be examined again and again. Even a king who has been served well should not be thought to be under control.
