Chaupai Text
आखर मधुर मनोहर दोऊ। बरन बिलोचन जन जिय जोऊ॥ सुमिरत सुलभ सुखद सब काहू। लोक लाहु परलोक निबाहू॥ १ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
ākhara madhura manohara doū। barana bilochana jana jiya joū॥ sumirata sulabha sukhada saba kāhū। loka lāhu paraloka nibāhū॥ 1 ॥
Meaning
Both syllables are sweet and beautiful; they are the eyes of the alphabet-body and the life of devotees. They are easy for all to remember and bring joy, and they grant benefit in this world and support in the next (that is, they keep one engaged forever in divine service in the Lord’s abode).
Context
This is Chaupai 1, Under Doha 20 from Bal Kand, in the episode “Glory of Rama's Name”. The episode describes the supreme glory of Rama's name as the most accessible refuge in Kali Yuga.
