Priya lagihi ati sabahi mam bhaniti

Doha 10 (a) · Bal Kand

Doha Text

प्रिय लागिहि अति सबहि मम भनिति राम जस संग। दारु बिचारु कि करइ कोउ बंदिअ मलय प्रसंग॥ १० (क) ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

priya lāgihi ati sabahi mama bhaniti rāma jasa saṃga। dāru bicāru ki karai kou baṃdia malaya prasaṃga॥ 10 (a) ॥

Meaning

With the association of Rama's glory, my poem will be extremely dear to everyone, just as a mere piece of wood, by association with the Malaya mountain, becomes worthy of worship as sandalwood. Who then would think of its being only wood?

Context
