Parasat mridu charan arunare

Chaupai 2, Under Doha 121 · Ayodhya Kand

Chaupai Text

परसत मृदुल चरन अरुनारे। सकुचति महि जिमि हृदय हमारे॥ जौं जगदीस इन्हहि बनु दीन्हा। कस न सुमनमय मारगु कीन्हा॥ २ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

parasata mṛdula carana arunāre। sakucati mahi jimi hṛdaya hamāre॥ jauṃ jagadīsa inhahi bana dīnhā। kasa na sumanamaya māragu kīnhā॥ 2 ॥

Meaning

As soon as their soft, red feet touch the earth, the earth shrinks, just as our hearts do. If the Lord of the world gave them exile in the forest, why did he not make the whole road carpeted with flowers?
