Kahahu nath sundar dou balak

Chaupai 1, Under Doha 216 · Bal Kand

Chaupai Text

कहहु नाथ सुंदर दोउ बालक। मुनिकुल तिलक कि नृपकुलपालक॥ ब्रह्म जो निगम नेति कहि गावा। उभय बेष धरि की सोइ आवा॥ १ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

kahahu nātha sundara dou bālaka। munikula tilaka ki nṛpakulapālaka॥ brahma jo nigama neti kahi gāvā। ubhaya beṣa dhari kī soi āvā॥ 1 ॥

Meaning

O Lord, tell me: are these two beautiful boys the ornament of the sage-line, or the protectors of the royal line? Is it that Brahma, whom the Vedas praise with “neti, neti,” has come here assuming both forms?
