kahahiṃ saciva saṭha ṭhakurasohātī। nātha na pūra āva ehi bhāṃtī॥ bāridhi nāghi eka kapi āvā। tāsu carita mana mahuṃ sabu gāvā॥ 1 ॥
Meaning
These foolish, flattering ministers speak only soft, pleasing words. O Lord, matters will not be accomplished in this way. One monkey crossed the sea and came here; his exploits are still sung in everyone’s heart.
