Mor prabhau bidit nahin toren

Chaupai 3, Under Doha 283 · Bal Kand

Chaupai Text

मोर प्रभाउ बिदित नहिं तोरें। बोलसि निदरि बिप्र के भोरें॥ भंजेउ चापु दापु बड़ बाढ़ा। अहमिति मनहुँ जीति जगु ठाढ़ा॥ ३ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

mora prabhāu bidita nahiṃ toreṃ। bolasi nidari bipra ke bhoreṃ॥ bhañjeu cāpu dāpu baṛa bāṛhā। ahamiti manahuṃ jīti jagu ṭhāṛhā॥ 3 ॥

Meaning

You do not know my power; that is why, mistaking me for a mere Brahmin, you speak with contempt. You broke the bow, and your pride has swelled greatly. Such ego stands there as though it has conquered the world.
