Dekhi indu chakor samudai

Chaupai 4, Under Doha 17 · Kishkindha Kand

Chaupai Text

देखि इंदु चकोर समुदाई। चितवहिं जिमि हरिजन हरि पाई॥ मसक दंस बीते हिम त्रासा। जिमि द्विज द्रोह किएँ कुल नासा॥ ४ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

dekhi iṃdu cakora samudāī। citavahiṃ jimi harijana hari pāī॥ masaka daṃsa bīte hima trāsā। jimi dvija droha kieṃ kula nāsā॥ 4 ॥

Meaning

Seeing the moon, the flock of chakoras gaze as devotees do when they have obtained Hari. Mosquitoes and gadflies perish in the fear of winter, just as a family is destroyed by enmity toward a Brahmin.
