Chaupai Text
कहँ कुंभज कहँ सिंधु अपारा। सोषेउ सुजसु सकल संसारा॥ रबि मंडल देखत लघु लागा। उदयँ तासु तिभुवन तम भागा॥ ४ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
kaham kuṃbhaja kaham sindhu apārā। soṣeu sujasu sakala saṃsārā॥ rabi maṃḍala dekhat laghu lāgā। udayaṃ tāsu tibhuvana tama bhāgā॥ 4 ॥
Meaning
Where is the pot-born sage Agastya, and where is the boundless ocean? Yet he dried it up, and his splendid fame is spread throughout the world. The sun’s disc seems small to behold, but when it rises, the darkness of the three worlds flees.
