Chaupai Text
एहि तें कवन ब्यथा बलवाना। जो दुखु पाइ तजहिं तनु प्राना॥ पुनि धरि धीर कहइ नरनाहू। लै रथु संग सखा तुम्ह जाहू॥ ४ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
ehi teṃ kavana byathā balavānā। jo dukhu pāi tajahiṃ tanu prānā॥ puni dhari dhīra kahai naranāhū। lai rathu saṃga sakhā tumha jāhū॥ 4 ॥
Meaning
What grief can be stronger than this, that when such sorrow comes, the soul and life should leave the body? Then, steadying himself, the king said: 'O friend, take the chariot and go with Rama.'
