Kosalpati gati suni jankaura
Chaupai 1, Under Doha 271 · Ayodhya Kand
Chaupai Text
कोसलपति गति सुनि जनकौरा। भे सब लोक सोकबस बौरा॥ जेहिं देखे तेहि समय बिदेहू। नामु सत्य अस लाग न केहू॥ १ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
kosalapati gati suni janakaurā। bhe saba loka sokabasa baurā॥ jehiṃ dekhe tehi samaya videhū। nāmu satya asa lāga na kehū॥ 1 ॥
Meaning
Hearing of the fate of the Lord of Kosala, all the people of Janakpur became crazed with grief, losing their senses. At that time, whoever saw Janaka—even though called Videha, the bodily-detached one—could not feel that his name was truly fulfilled, for how can one who is free from bodily identification grieve?
Context
This is Chaupai 1, Under Doha 271 from Ayodhya Kand, in the episode “Ram, Bharata and Others Converse”. The episode describes the profound dialogue between Rama and Bharata on dharma, kingship, and their father's command.
