Bidhi hari har maya bari bhari

Chaupai 3, Under Doha 295 · Ayodhya Kand

Chaupai Text

बिधि हरि हर माया बड़ि भारी। सोउ न भरत मति सकइ निहारी॥ सो मति मोहि कहत करु भोरी। चंदिनि कर कि चंडकर चोरी॥ ३ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

bidhi hari hara māyā baṛi bhārī। sou na bharata mati sakai nihārī॥ so mati mohi kahata karu bhorī। candini kara ki caṇḍakara corī॥ 3 ॥

Meaning

The illusion of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva is very great, yet even it cannot look upon Bharata's mind. And you ask me to cloud that mind with delusion? Can moonlight ever steal the blazing sun?
