Chaupai Text
नाथ बयरु कीजे ताही सों। बुधि बल सकिअ जीति जाही सों॥ तुम्हहि रघुपतिहि अंतर कैसा। खलु खद्योत दिनकरहि जैसा॥ ३ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
Nātha bayar u kīje tāhī soṃ। Budhi bala sakia jīti jāhī soṃ॥ Tumhahi raghupatihi antara kaisā। Khalu khadyota dinakarahi jaisā॥ 3 ॥
Meaning
O lord, one should pick a quarrel only with someone who can be conquered by intellect and strength. What difference is there between you and Raghupati, except as between a firefly and the sun?
