Chaupai Text

रहहु करहु सब कर परितोषू। नतरु तात होइहि बड़ दोषू॥ जासु राज प्रिय प्रजा दुखारी। सो नृपु अवसि नरक अधिकारी॥ ३ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

rahahu karahu saba kara paritoṣū। nataru tāta hoihi baṛa doṣū॥ jāsu rāja priya prajā dukhārī। so nṛpu avasi naraka adhikārī॥ 3 ॥

Meaning

Therefore remain here and continue to give contentment to all. Otherwise, O son, there will be a grave fault. A king whose beloved subjects remain unhappy in his kingdom is certainly destined for hell.
