Chaupai 5, Under Doha 9 · Lanka Kand
Chaupai Text
बचन परम हित सुनत कठोरे। सुनहिं जे कहहिं ते नर प्रभु थोरे॥ प्रथम बसीठ पठउ सुनु नीती। सीता देइ करहु पुनि प्रीती॥ ५ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
bacana parama hita sunata kaṭhore। sunahiṃ je kahahiṃ te nara prabhu thore॥ prathama basīṭha paṭhau sunu nītī। sītā dei karahu puni prītī॥ 5 ॥
Meaning
O Lord, very few are those who hear and speak words that are harsh to hear but supremely beneficial in result. Listen to the policy: first send a messenger, and then, giving up Sita, make peace and friendship with Shri Ramji.
