Chaupai Text
जंबुक निकर कटक्कट कट्टहिं। खाहिं हुआहिं अघाहिं दपट्टहिं॥ कोटिन्ह रुंड मुंड बिनु डोल्लहिं। सीस परे महि जय जय बोल्लहिं॥ ५ ॥

Meaning
Hosts of jackals make a clattering sound and gnaw, eat, howl, and growl in irritation after becoming full. Crores of trunks move about without heads, while the heads, fallen on the ground, cry out 'Victory, victory!'
