Chaupai Text
बिनु भंजेहुँ भव धनुषु बिसाला। मेलिहि सीय राम उर माला॥ अस बिचारि गवनहु घर भाई। जसु प्रतापु बलु तेजु गवाँई॥ २ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
binu bhaṃjēhu bhava dhanuṣu bisālā। melihi sīya rāma ura mālā॥ asa bicāri gavanahu ghara bhāī। jasu pratāpu balu teju gavā̃ī॥ 2 ॥
Meaning
Seeing His beauty, everyone felt certain that even without breaking Shiva’s great bow, Sita would place the garland around Rama’s neck. In either case, our defeat is sure and victory will be Rama’s. Thinking thus, they said, “Brothers, go home, giving up your fame, might, strength, and radiance.”
