Chaupai Text

निपट निरंकुस निठुर निसंकू। जेहिं ससि कीन्ह सरुज सकलंकू॥ रूख कलपतरु सागरु खारा। तेहिं पठए बन राजकुमारा॥ २ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

nipata niraṅkusa niṭhura nisaṅkū। jehiṃ sasi kīnha saruja sakalaṅkū॥ rūkha kalapataru sāgaru khārā। tehiṃ paṭhae bana rājakumārā॥ 2 ॥

Meaning

That Providence is utterly unchecked, cruel, and fearless: he made the moon subject to waxing and waning and blemished it; he made the wish-fulfilling tree into an ordinary tree and the ocean salty. It is he who sent these princes into the forest.
