Chaupai Text
समिधि सेन चतुरंग सुहाई। महा महीप भए पसु आई॥ मैं एहिं परसु काटि बलि दीन्हे। समर जग्य जप कोटिन्ह कीन्हे॥ २ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
samidhi sena caturaṃga suhāī। mahā mahīpa bhae pasu āī॥ maiṃ ehiṃ parasu kāṭi bali dīhne। samara jagya japa koṭinha kīhne॥ 2 ॥
Meaning
The four-fold army is the beautiful sacrificial fuel, and the great kings that came there became the sacrificial beasts. With this very axe I cut them down and offered them in sacrifice. I have performed countless such battle-sacrifices joined with mantra recitation—that is, I have called out and offered kings as oblations.
