Chaupai Text
अब जनि कोउ माखै भट मानी। बीर बिहीन मही मैं जानी॥ तजहु आस निज निज गृह जाहू। लिखा न बिधि बैदेहि बिबाहू॥ २ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
aba jani kou mākhai bhaṭa mānī। bīra bihīna mahī maiṃ jānī॥ tajahu āsa nija nija gṛha jāhū। likhā na bidhi baidehi bibāhū॥ 2 ॥
Meaning
Let no one proud of valor be angered now. I have understood that the earth has become empty of heroes. Give up hope and return to your own homes; fate has not written the marriage of Vaidehi.
