Chaupai Text

तैसेहिं सुकबि कबित बुध कहहीं। उपजहिं अनत अनत छबि लहहीं॥ भगति हेतु बिधि भवन बिहाई। सुमिरत सारद आवति धाई॥ २ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

taisehiṃ sukabi kabita budha kahahīṃ। upajahiṃ anata anata chabi lahahīṃ॥ bhagati hetu bidhi bhavana bihāī। sumirata sārada āvati dhāī॥ 2 ॥

Meaning

Likewise, the wise say that a good poet's poem also is born and shines elsewhere. Because of devotion, Saraswati, leaving her celestial abode, hastens down when the poet is remembered.
