Uma na kachhu kapi kai adhikai

Chaupai 5, Under Doha 3 · Sundar Kand

Chaupai Text

उमा न कछु कपि कै अधिकाई। प्रभु प्रताप जो कालहि खाई॥ गिरि पर चढ़ि लंका तेहिं देखी। कहि न जाइ अति दुर्ग बिसेषी॥ ५ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

umā na kachu kapi kai adhikāī। prabhu pratāpa jo kālahi khāī॥ giri para chaṛhi laṃkā tehiṃ dekhī। kahi na jāi ati durga bisheṣī॥ 5 ॥

Meaning

[Shiva says—] O Uma, there is no greatness of the monkey here. This is the majesty of the Lord, which devours even Time itself. Climbing the mountain, he saw Lanka. It was an exceptionally fortified stronghold; it cannot be described adequately.
