Kari jatan bhat kotinnh bikat tan

Chhand 3, Under Doha 3 · Sundar Kand

Chhand Text

करि जतन भट कोटिन्ह बिकट तन नगर चहुँ दिसि रच्छहीं। कहुँ महिष मानुष धेनु खर अज खल निसाचर भच्छहीं॥ एहि लागि तुलसीदास इन्ह की कथा कछु एक है कही। रघुबीर सर तीरथ सरीरन्हि त्यागि गति पैहहिं सही॥ ३ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

kari jatana bhaṭa koṭinha bikaṭa tana nagara cahuṃ disi rachchahīṃ। kahuṃ mahiṣa mānuṣa dhenu khara aja khala nisācara bhachchahīṃ॥ ehi lāgi tulasīdāsa inha kī kathā kachu eka hai kahī। raghubīra sara tīratha sarīranhi tyāgi gati paihahīṃ sahī॥ 3 ॥

Meaning

Millions of warriors with terrible bodies carefully guarded the city on all four sides. Here and there wicked demons were devouring buffaloes, humans, cows, donkeys, and goats. Tulsidas has told only a little of their story for this reason: they will surely abandon their bodies in the holy bath of Rama's arrow and attain the true state of liberation.
