Chaupai Text
तव बस बिधि प्रपंच सब नाथा। सभय दिसिप नित नावहिं माथा॥ अब तव सिर भुज जंबुक खाहीं। राम बिमुख यह अनुचित नाहीं॥ ६ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
tava basa bidhi prapaṃca saba nāthā। sabhaya disipa nita nāvahiṃ māthā॥ aba tava sira bhuja jaṃbuka khāhīṃ। rāma bimukha yaha anucita nāhīṃ॥ 6 ॥
Meaning
O Lord, all creation was under your control. The guardians of the directions would bow their heads to you in fear. But now, alas, jackals are eating your head and arms. For one who is estranged from Rama, such a fate is not even improper.
