Chaupai Text

जौं पै इन्हहि दीन्ह बनबासू। कीन्ह बादि बिधि भोग बिलासू॥ ए बिचरहिं मग बिनु पदत्राना। रचे बादि बिधि बाहन नाना॥ ३ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

jauṃ pai inhahi dīnha banabāsū। kīnha bādi vidhi bhoga vilāsū॥ e bicharahiṃ maga binu padatrānā। race bādi vidhi bāhana nānā॥ 3 ॥

Meaning

If the forest exile was indeed given to them, then the creation of pleasures and luxuries was needless. If they are roaming the road barefoot, then why did Providence uselessly create so many vehicles?
