Chaupai Text
रोम राजि अष्टादस भारा। अस्थि सैल सरिता नस जारा॥ उदर उदधि अधगो जातना। जगमय प्रभु का बहु कलपना॥ ४ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
roma rāji aṣṭādasa bhārā। asthi saila saritā nasa jārā॥ udara udadhi adhago jātanā। jagamaya prabhu kā bahu kalpanā॥ 4 ॥
Meaning
Countless classes of plants are His body hair; mountains are His bones, rivers His veins, and the ocean His belly, while the lower realms are His supports. Thus the Lord is the universe itself; what more need be imagined?
