Tinhahi sohai na avadh badhava

Chaupai 4, Under Doha 11 · Ayodhya Kand

Chaupai Text

तिन्हहि सोहाइ न अवध बधावा। चोरहि चंदिनि राति न भावा॥ सारद बोलि बिनय सुर करहीं। बारहिं बार पाय लै परहीं॥ ४ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

tinhahi sohāi na avadha badhāvā। corahi candini rāti na bhāvā॥ sārada boli binaya sura karahīṃ। bārahiṃ bāra pāya lai parahīṃ॥ 4 ॥

Meaning

The celebrations of Ayodhya do not please them, just as moonlit nights do not please a thief. Calling on Saraswati, the gods plead humbly and again and again fall at her feet.
