Chaupai Text

बिहसे अपर भूप सुनि बानी। जे अबिबेक अंध अभिमानी॥ तोरेहुँ धनुषु ब्याहु अवगाहा। बिनु तोरें को कुअँरि बिआहा॥ ३ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

bihase apara bhūpa suni bānī। je abibeka aṃdha abhimānī॥ torehuṃ dhanuṣu byāhu avagāhā। binu toreṃ ko kũãri biāhā॥ 3 ॥

Meaning

The other kings, blinded by folly and pride, laughed on hearing this. They said, even if the bow is broken, the marriage will still be difficult; without breaking it, who could possibly marry the princess?
