Jehim marut giri meru udahim

Chaupai 6, Under Doha 12 · Bal Kand

Chaupai Text

जेहिं मारुत गिरि मेरु उड़ाहीं। कहहु तूल केहि लेखे माहीं॥ समुझत अमित राम प्रभुताई। करत कथा मन अति कदराई॥ ६ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

jehiṃ māruta giri meru uḍāhīṃ। kahahu tūla kehi lekhe māhīṃ॥ samujhata amita rāma prabhutāī। karata kathā mana ati kadarāī॥ 6 ॥

Meaning

As for a lump of wood, what significance is there before the wind that can lift Meru and the mountains into the air? Realizing Rama's limitless majesty, my mind shrinks from composing this story.
