Chaupai Text
गिरि सरि सिंधु भार नहिं मोही। जस मोहि गरुअ एक परद्रोही॥ सकल धर्म देखइ बिपरीता। कहि न सकइ रावन भय भीता॥ ३ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
giri sari sindhu bhāra nahiṃ mohī। jasa mohi garua eka paradrohī॥ sakala dharma dekhai biparītā। kahi na sakai rāvana bhaya bhītā॥ 3 ॥
Meaning
[She thought:] The burden of mountains, rivers, and oceans does not seem as heavy to me as one who seeks to harm others. The earth sees all righteousness turned upside down, but terrified by Ravana, she cannot speak.
