Chaupai Text

जौं आवइ मर्कट कटकाई। जिअहिं बिचारे निसिचर खाई॥ कंपहिं लोकप जाकीं त्रासा। तासु नारि सभीत बड़ि हासा॥ २ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

jauṃ āvai markaṭa kaṭakāī। jiahiṃ bicāre nisichara khāī॥ kaṃpahiṃ lokapa jākīṃ trāsā। tāsu nāri sabhīta baṛi hāsā॥ 2 ॥

Meaning

If the monkey army comes, the poor demons will have to live by devouring it. The guardians of the world themselves tremble with fear before him; for his wife to be afraid is a great joke.
