हमहि तुम्हहि सरिबरि कसि नाथा। कहहु न कहाँ चरन कहँ माथा॥ राम मात्र लघु नाम हमारा। परसु सहित बड़ नाम तोहारा॥ ३ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

hamahi tumhahi saribari kasi nāthā। kahahu na kahāṃ carana kahaṃ māthā॥ rāma mātra laghu nāma hamārā। parasu sahita baṛa nāma tohārā॥ 3 ॥

Meaning

O Lord, how can there be any comparison between us? Tell me—where are the feet and where is the head? Where is my small name, only Rama, and where is your great name, joined with the axe?
