Jo kachhu kahehu satya sab soi

Chaupai 12, Under Doha 7 · Kishkindha Kand

Chaupai Text

जो कछु कहेहु सत्य सब सोई। सखा बचन मम मृषा न होई॥ नट मरकट इव सबहि नचावत। रामु खगेस बेद अस गावत॥ १२ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

jo kachhu kahehu satya saba soī। sakhā bacana mama mṛṣā na hoī॥ naṭa marakaṭa iva sabahi nacāvata। rāmu khagesa beda asa gāvata॥ 12 ॥

Meaning

Whatever you have said is all true; yet, O friend, my word does not fail in falsehood (that is, Bali will indeed be slain and you will obtain the kingdom). [Kakbhushundi says:] O Garuda, king of birds, Rama makes all beings dance like a juggler’s monkeys; so the Veda declares.
