Chaupai Text
जो अति सुभट सराहेहु रावन। सो सुग्रीव केर लघु धावन॥ चलइ बहुत सो बीर न होई। पठवा खबरि लेन हम सोई॥ ५ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
jo ati subhaṭa sarāhehu rāvana। so sugrīva kera laghu dhāvana॥ calai bahuta so vīra na hoī। paṭhavā khabari lena hama soī॥ 5 ॥
Meaning
O Ravana, the one you praise as a great hero is merely a small errand-runner of Sugriva. He goes about a lot, but he is not a warrior. We sent him only to gather news.
