Chaupai 3, Under Doha 37 · Lanka Kand
Chaupai Text
तेहि कहँ पिय पुनि पुनि नर कहहू। मुधा मान ममता मद बहहू॥ अहह कंत कृत राम बिरोधा। काल बिबस मन उपज न बोधा॥ ३ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
tehi kaham̐ piya puni puni nara kahahū। mudhā māna mamatā mada bahahū॥ ahaha kaṃta kṛta rāma birodhā। kāla bibasa mana upaja na bodhā॥ 3 ॥
Meaning
O husband, you keep calling Him a mere man. You are needlessly burdened with pride, attachment, and arrogance! Ah, beloved, you have opposed Rama, and because you are fully under Time's sway, understanding still does not arise in your mind.
Context
This is Chaupai 3, Under Doha 37 from Lanka Kand, in the episode “Mandodari's Final Plea to Ravana”. The episode describes Mandodari's earnest final plea urging Ravana to heed dharma and recognize Rama's supreme power.
