Chhuat sila bhai nari suhai
Chaupai 3, Under Doha 100 · Ayodhya Kand
Chaupai Text
छुअत सिला भइ नारि सुहाई। पाहन तें न काठ कठिनाई॥ तरनिउ मुनि घरिनी होइ जाई। बाट परइ मोरि नाव उड़ाई॥ ३ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
chuata silā bhai nāri suhāī। pāhana teṃ na kāṭha kaṭhināī॥ taraniu muni gharinī hoi jāī। bāṭa parai mori nāva uṛāī॥ 3 ॥
Meaning
The very touch of whom turned a stone into a lovely woman [and my boat is made of wood]. Wood is not harder than stone. My boat too would become a sage's wife, and then it would fly away; I would be ruined [or the path would be blocked, so you could not cross and my livelihood would be lost] (my means of earning my bread would be destroyed).
Context
This is Chaupai 3, Under Doha 100 from Ayodhya Kand, in the episode “Kevat's Devotion and Crossing the Ganga”. The episode describes Kevat washing the Lord's feet and lovingly ferrying Rama, Sita, and Lakshmana across the Ganga.
