Apatu ajamilu gaju ganikau

Chaupai 4, Under Doha 26 · Bal Kand

Chaupai Text

अपतु अजामिलु गजु गनिकाऊ। भए मुकुत हरि नाम प्रभाऊ॥ कहौं कहाँ लगि नाम बड़ाई। रामु न सकहिं नाम गुन गाई॥ ४ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

apatu ajāmilu gaju ganikāū। bhae mukuta hari nāma prabhāū॥ kahauṃ kahāṃ lagi nāma baḍāī। rāmu na sakahiṃ nāma guna gāī॥ 4 ॥

Meaning

The lowly Ajamil, Gajendra the elephant, and the courtesan were all liberated through the power of Hari's Name. How far can I speak of the greatness of the Name? Even Rama cannot sing the Name's virtues.

Context

This is Chaupai 4, Under Doha 26 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.
