Silu sanehu chhari nahin jai

Chaupai 3, Under Doha 85 · Ayodhya Kand

Chaupai Text

सीलु सनेहु छाड़ि नहिं जाई। असमंजस बस भे रघुराई॥ लोग सोग श्रम बस गए सोई। कछुक देवमायाँ मति मोई॥ ३ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

sīlu sanehu chāṛi nahiṃ jāī। asamaṃjasa basa bhe raghurāī॥ loga soga śrama basa gae soī। kachuka devamāyāṃ mati moī॥ 3 ॥

Meaning

Virtue and affection cannot be set aside. Raghurāi was caught in indecision. Weighed down by grief and exhaustion, the people fell asleep, and some were also deluded by the spell of the gods' māyā.
