Chaupai Text
जेहि बिधि होइ धर्म निर्मूला। सो सब करहिं बेद प्रतिकूला॥ जेहिं जेहिं देस धेनु द्विज पावहिं। नगर गाउँ पुर आगि लगावहिं॥ ३ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
jehi bidhi hoi dharma nirmūlā। so saba karahiṃ beda pratikūlā॥ jehiṃ jehiṃ desa dhenu dvija pāvahiṃ। nagara gāuṃ pura āgi lagāvahiṃ॥ 3 ॥
Meaning
Whatever uprooted धर्म, they did that; they acted in opposition to the Vedas. Wherever they found cows and brahmins, they set fire to that city, village, or town.
