Ram nam binu gira na soha
Chaupai 2, Under Doha 23 · Sundar Kand
Chaupai Text
राम नाम बिनु गिरा न सोहा। देखु बिचारि त्यागि मद मोहा॥ बसन हीन नहिं सोह सुरारी। सब भूषन भूषित बर नारी॥ २ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
rāma nāma binu girā na sohā। deku bicāri tyāgi mada mohā॥ basana hīna nahiṃ soha surārī। saba bhūṣana bhūṣita bara nārī॥ 2 ॥
Meaning
Without Rama’s name, speech does not look beautiful. Reflect on this and give up pride and delusion. O enemy of the gods! Even a woman adorned with all ornaments does not look graceful if she has no clothes.
