सेवकु सो जो करै सेवकाई। अरि करनी करि करिअ लराई॥ सुनहु राम जेहिं सिवधनु तोरा। सहसबाहु सम सो रिपु मोरा॥ २ ॥

sevaku so jo karai sevakāī। ari karanī kari kariyā larāī॥ sunahu rāma jehiṃ sivadhanu torā। sahasabāhu sama so ripu morā॥ 2 ॥

Meaning

A servant is one who performs service. If one does an enemy’s work, then one must fight indeed. Listen, Rama: the one who broke Shiva’s bow is my enemy, equal to Sahasrabahu.
