Chaupai Text

अति लघु बात लागि दुखु पावा। काहुँ न मोहि कहि प्रथम जनावा॥ देखि गोसाइँहि पूँछिउँ माता। सुनि प्रसंगु भए सीतल गाता॥ ४ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

ati laghu bāta lāgi dukhu pāvā। kāhuṃ na mohi kahi prathama janāvā॥ dekhi gosāṃihi pūṃchiuṃ mātā। suni prasaṃgu bhae sītala gātā॥ 4 ॥

Meaning

For so small a matter you have suffered such sorrow. No one told me this beforehand. Seeing you in this condition, I asked Mother. Hearing the whole matter from her, all my limbs grew cool (I was greatly relieved).
