Agam saneh bharat raghubar ko
Chaupai 3, Under Doha 241 · Ayodhya Kand
Chaupai Text
अगम सनेह भरत रघुबर को। जहँ न जाइ मनु बिधि हरि हर को॥ सो मैं कुमति कहौं केहि भाँती। बाज सुराग कि गाँडर ताँती॥ ३ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
agama saneha bharata raghubara ko। jaham na jāi manu bidhi hari hara ko॥ so maiṁ kumati kahauṁ kehi bhāṁtī। bāja surāga ki gāṇḍara tāṁtī॥ 3 ॥
Meaning
The love between Bharat and Lord Raghunath is beyond reach, to a place where even the minds of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva cannot go. How can I, with my dull understanding, describe such love? Can a beautiful melody ever be played on a string made of gander grass? [Gander is a kind of grass found in ponds and lakes.]
