Bidhi hari har kabi kobid bani
Chaupai 6, Under Doha 3 · Bal Kand
Chaupai Text
बिधि हरि हर कबि कोबिद बानी। कहत साधु महिमा सकुचानी॥ सो मो सन कहि जात न कैसें। साक बनिक मनि गुन गन जैसें॥ ६ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
bidhi hari hara kabi kobida bānī। kahata sādhu mahimā sakucānī॥ so mo sana kahi jāta na kaisēṃ। sāk banika mani guna gana jaisēṃ॥ 6 ॥
Meaning
Even the speech of Brahma, Hari, Hara, poets, and scholars shrinks back from describing the greatness of saints. Why should it not be beyond me to speak of it, just as one would not speak of the qualities of gems to a vegetable seller?
