Suni sasoch kah debi sumitra
Chaupai 1, Under Doha 282 · Ayodhya Kand
Chaupai Text
सुनि ससोच कह देबि सुमित्रा। बिधि गति बड़ि बिपरीत बिचित्रा॥ जो सृजि पालइ हरइ बहोरी। बालकेलि सम बिधि मति भोरी॥ १ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
suni sasoca kaha debi sumitrā। bidhi gati baṛi biparīta bicitrā॥ jo sṛji pālai harai bahorī। bālakeli sama bidhi mati bhorī॥ 1 ॥
Meaning
Hearing this, Mother Sumitrā said in sorrow, 'The course of fate is strange, greatly contrary, and wondrous. It creates, sustains, and then destroys again. Fate's intelligence is like a child's play—foolish and without discernment.'
