Chaupai Text

राम तिलक हित मंगल साजा। परब जोग जनु जुरे समाजा॥ काई कुमति केकई केरी। परी जासु फल बिपति घनेरी॥ ४ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

rāma tilaka hita maṅgala sājā। paraba joga janu jure samājā॥ kāī kumati kekai kerī। parī jāsu phala bipati ghanerī॥ 4 ॥

Meaning

The auspicious decoration made for Rama's coronation is like a gathering of travelers assembled upon this river at festival time. Kekai's wicked thought is the algae in the river, from which a great calamity has resulted.
