Ka sunai bidhi kah sunava

Chaupai 1, Under Doha 48 · Ayodhya Kand

Chaupai Text

का सुनाइ बिधि काह सुनावा। का देखाइ चह काह देखावा॥ एक कहहिं भल भूप न कीन्हा। बरु बिचारि नहिं कुमतिहि दीन्हा॥ १ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

kā sunāi bidhi kāh sunāvā। kā dekhāi caha kāh dekhāvā॥ eka kahahiṃ bhal bhūpa na kīnhā। baru bicāri nahīṃ kumatihi dīnhā॥ 1 ॥

Meaning

What has Providence made us hear, and what has it made us hear after showing? What does it now want to show? Some say that the king did not do right; he should not have granted a boon after considering the foolish Kaikeyi.
