Kahahu kavan sukhu as baru paen

Chaupai 4, Under Doha 79 · Bal Kand

Chaupai Text

कहहु कवन सुखु अस बरु पाएँ। भल भूलिहु ठग के बौराएँ॥ पंच कहें सिवँ सती बिबाही। पुनि अवडेरि मराएन्हि ताही॥ ४ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

kahahu kavan sukhu asa baru pāeṃ। bhal bhūlihahu ṭhag ke baurāeṃ॥ pañca kaheṃ sivaṃ satī bibāhī। puni avaḍeri marāeñhi tāhī॥ 4 ॥

Meaning

Tell me, what happiness will you get by receiving such a husband? You have been badly misled by that trickster (Narad). At the Panchas’ request, Shiva married Sati, but later abandoned her and caused her death.
