Chaupai Text
रेख खँचाइ कहउँ बलु भाषी। भामिनि भइहु दूध कइ माखी॥ जौं सुत सहित करहु सेवकाई। तौ घर रहहु न आन उपाई॥ ४ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
rekha khañcāi kahauṃ balu bhāṣī। bhāmini bhaihu dūdha kai mākhī॥ jaũ suta sahita karahu sevakāī। tau ghara rahahu na āna upāī॥ 4 ॥
Meaning
I say this firmly, drawing a line: O proud lady, you have become like a fly in milk! Just as a fly dropped into milk is thrown out, so too will people cast you out of the house. If you serve Kaushalya along with your son, then you may remain in the house; otherwise, there is no other way.
