Chaupai 4, Under Doha 4 · Bal Kand

Chaupai Text

पर अकाजु लगि तनु परिहरहीं। जिमि हिम उपल कृषी दलि गरहीं॥ बंदउँ खल जस सेष सरोषा। सहस बदन बरनइ पर दोषा॥ ४ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

para akāju lagi tanu pariharahīṃ। jimi hima upala kṛṣī dali garahīṃ॥ bandaũ khala jasa seṣa saroṣā। sahasa badana baranai para doṣā॥ 4 ॥

Meaning

Just as hailstones destroy the crop and then melt away themselves, so they even sacrifice their own bodies to spoil others' work. I bow to the wicked, likened to Shesha with a thousand mouths, who with great anger proclaim the faults of others through a thousand mouths.
