Chaupai Text

तस मैं सुमुखि सुनावउँ तोही। समुझि परइ जस कारन मोही॥ जब जब होइ धरम कै हानी। बाढ़हिं असुर अधम अभिमानी॥ ३ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

tasa maiṃ sumukhi sunāvauṃ tohī। samujhi parai jasa kārana mohī॥ jaba jaba hoi dharama kai hānī। bāḍhahiṃ asura adham abhimānī॥ 3 ॥

Meaning

And, O fair-faced one, I shall tell you the reason as I understand it. Whenever righteousness declines, wicked and arrogant demons grow strong.
