Ram sakul ran ravanu mara

Chaupai 3-4, Under Doha 25 · Bal Kand

Chaupai Text

राम सकुल रन रावनु मारा। सीय सहित निज पुर पगु धारा॥ राजा रामु अवध रजधानी। गावत गुन सुर मुनि बर बानी॥ सेवक सुमिरत नामु सप्रीती। बिनु श्रम प्रबल मोह दलु जीती॥ फिरत सनेहँ मगन सुख अपनें। नाम प्रसाद सोच नहिं सपनें॥ ३-४ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

rāma sakula rana rāvaṇu mārā। sīya sahita nija pura pagu dhārā॥ rājā rāmu avadha rajadhānī। gāvata guna sura muni bara bānī॥ sevaka sumirata nāmu saprītī। binu śrama prabala moha dalu jītī॥ phirata sanehaṃ magana sukha apaneṃ। nāma prasāda soca nahiṃ sapaneṃ॥ 3-4 ॥

Meaning

Rama slew Ravana in battle along with his entire family, and then entered His city with Sita. Rama became king, and Ayodhya became His capital; gods and sages sing His virtues in lovely words. But devotees, through loving remembrance of the Name alone, conquer the mighty army of delusion without effort and dwell in their own bliss. By the grace of the Name, they have no worry even in dreams.
