Chaupai Text

करन चहउँ रघुपति गुन गाहा। लघु मति मोरि चरित अवगाहा॥ सूझ न एकउ अंग उपाऊ। मन मति रंक मनोरथ राऊ॥ ३ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

karana cahauṃ raghupati guna gāhā। laghu mati mori carita avagāhā॥ sūjha na ekau aṃga upāū। mana mati raṃka manoratha rāū॥ 3 ॥

Meaning

I wish to sing the virtues of Raghupati, but my mind is small and Rama’s life-story is unfathomable. I can find not even one means, not the slightest way, to do it. My mind and intellect are poor, yet my ambition is like a king.
