Tav ur kumati basi biparita

Chaupai 4, Under Doha 40 · Sundar Kand

Chaupai Text

तव उर कुमति बसी बिपरीता। हित अनहित मानहु रिपु प्रीता॥ कालराति निसिचर कुल केरी। तेहि सीता पर प्रीति घनेरी॥ ४ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

tava ura kumati basī biparītā। hita anahita mānahu ripu prītā॥ kālarāti nisi-cara kula kerī। tehi sītā para prīti ghanerī॥ 4 ॥

Meaning

Your heart has been occupied by perverse judgment. Because of that, you take what is good to be bad and the enemy to be a friend. She who is like the night of destruction for the rakshasa race—on her you have such deep affection.
