Ram tej bal budhi bipulai

Chaupai 1, Under Doha 56 · Sundar Kand

Chaupai Text

राम तेज बल बुधि बिपुलाई। सेष सहस सत सकहिं न गाई॥ सक सर एक सोषि सत सागर। तव भ्रातहि पूँछेउ नय नागर॥ १ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

rāma teja bala budhi bipulāī। seṣa sahasa sata sakahiṃ na gāī॥ saka sara eka soṣi sata sāgara। tava bhrātahi pūñcheu naya nāgara॥ 1 ॥

Meaning

Even Shriramchandra’s brilliance, strength, and wisdom cannot be sung of even by a hundred thousand Sheshas. He could dry up hundreds of oceans with a single arrow, yet the wise Rama asked your brother for a solution [to uphold righteous conduct].
