Chaupai Text

राम भालु कपि कटकु बटोरा। सेतु हेतु श्रमु कीन्ह न थोरा॥ नामु लेत भवसिंधु सुखाहीं। करहु बिचारु सुजन मन माहीं॥ २ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

rāma bhālu kapi kaṭaku baṭorā। setu hetu śramu kīnha na thorā॥ nāmu leta bhavasindhu sukhāhīṃ। karahu bicāru sujana mana māhīṃ॥ 2 ॥

Meaning

Rama gathered the army of bears and monkeys and did not spare Himself the labor of building the bridge. But by merely taking the Name, the ocean of worldly existence dries up. O noble souls, reflect on this in your minds.
