Chaupai Text
राम सुना दुखु कान न काऊ। जीवनतरु जिमि जोगवइ राऊ॥ पलक नयन फनि मनि जेहि भाँती। जोगवहिं जननि सकल दिन राती॥ १ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
rāma sunā dukhu kāna na kāū। jīvanataru jimi jogavai rāū॥ palaka nayana phani mani jehi bhāṃtī। jogavahiṃ janani sakala dina rātī॥ 1 ॥
Meaning
Rama had never even heard the name of sorrow with his ears. The king himself tended him like a wish-fulfilling tree of life. All the mothers cared for him day and night in the same way that the eyelids protect the eyes and a snake guards its jewel.
