Chaupai Text
हित मत तोहि न लागत कैसें। काल बिबस कहुँ भेषज जैसें॥ संध्या समय जानि दससीसा। भवन चलेउ निरखत भुज बीसा॥ ३ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
hita mata tohi na lāgata kaisẽ। kāla bibasa kahuṃ bheṣaja jaisẽ॥ saṃdhyā samaya jāni dasasīsā। bhavana chaleu nirakhata bhuja bīsā॥ 3 ॥
Meaning
Why does good advice not affect you, just as medicine does not help one who is under the power of death? Knowing that it was evening, Ravana went to the palace, looking at his twenty arms.
