Chaupai Text

कहिअ काह कहि जाइ न बाता। जम कर धार किधौं बरिआता॥ बरु बौराह बसहँ असवारा। ब्याल कपाल बिभूषन छारा॥ ४ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

kahiya kāha kahi jāi na bātā। jama kara dhāra kidhauṃ bariyātā॥ baru baurāha vasahaṃ asavārā। byāla kapāla bibhūṣana chārā॥ 4 ॥

Meaning

What can one say? The words cannot even be spoken. Is this a wedding procession or Yama's army? The groom is mad and rides a bull; snakes, skulls, and ashes are his ornaments.
