Chaupai Text
सुधा समुद्र समीप बिहाई। मृगजलु निरखि मरहु कत धाई॥ करहु जाइ जा कहुँ जोइ भावा। हम तौ आजु जनम फलु पावा॥ ३ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
sudhā samudra samīpa bihāī। mṛgajalu nirakhi marahu kata dhāī॥ karahu jāi jā kahuṃ joi bhāvā। hama tau āju janama phalu pāvā॥ 3 ॥
Meaning
Why leave the near ocean of nectar of divine sight and rush after the mirage, which is only a false desire to win Janaki as your wife? Go wherever you please and do whatever you like. As for us, we have today gained the true fruit of birth by seeing Rama.
