Chaupai Text
एतना कहत नीति रस भूला। रन रस बिटपु पुलक मिस फूला॥ प्रभु पद बंदि सीस रज राखी। बोले सत्य सहज बलु भाषी॥ ३ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
etiṃā kahata nīti rasa bhūlā। rana rasa biṭapu pulaka misa phūlā॥ prabhu pada bandi sīsa raja rākhī। bole satya sahaja balu bhāṣī॥ 3 ॥
Meaning
As he spoke thus, Lakshmana forgot the taste of policy, and the tree of battle-joy seemed to blossom with goosebumps. Bowing at Lord Rama's feet and placing the dust of those feet on his head, he spoke, telling his true and natural strength.
