Chitav jo lochan anguli laen

Chaupai 2, Under Doha 117 · Bal Kand

Chaupai Text

चितव जो लोचन अंगुलि लाएँ। प्रगट जुगल ससि तेहि के भाएँ॥ उमा राम बिषइक अस मोहा। नभ तम धूम धूरि जिमि सोहा॥ २ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

citava jo locana aṃguli lāeṃ। pragaṭa jugala sasi tehi ke bhāeṃ॥ ūmā rāma biṣaika asa mohā। nabha tama dhūma dhūri jimi sohā॥ 2 ॥

Meaning

For one who looks with a finger placed over the eye, two moons appear. O Uma, to imagine such delusion about Rama is like darkness, smoke, and dust appearing in the sky. [Just as the sky is pure and untouched, so too the Lord Rama is forever pure and unstained.]
