Sevahim sakal savati mohi niken
Chaupai 2, Under Doha 18 · Ayodhya Kand
Chaupai Text
सेवहिं सकल सवति मोहि नीकें। गरबित भरत मातु बल पी कें॥ सालु तुम्हार कौसिलहि माई। कपट चतुर नहिं होइ जनाई॥ २ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
sevahiṃ sakala savati mohi nīkeṃ। garbita bharata mātu bala pī keṃ॥ sālu tumhāra kausilahi māī। kapaṭa catura nahiṃ hoi janāī॥ 2 ॥
Meaning
[Kaushalya thinks:] "All the other co-wives serve me well enough, but the mother of Bharata is proud on the strength of her husband." That is why, O mother, you are a constant annoyance to Kaushalya. Yet she is clever in deceit, so her inner feelings cannot be known; she keeps them hidden skillfully.
