Chaupai Text

प्रौढ़ भएँ मोहि पिता पढ़ावा। समझउँ सुनउँ गुनउँ नहिं भावा॥ मन ते सकल बासना भागी। केवल राम चरन लय लागी॥ ३ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

prauṛha bhaeṃ mohi pitā paṛhāvā। samajhauṃ sunauṃ gunauṃ nahiṃ bhāvā॥ mana te sakala bāsanā bhāgī। kevala rāma carana laya lāgī॥ 3 ॥

Meaning

When I grew up, my father had me educated. I would try to understand, listen, and reflect, but study did not please me. All desires fled from my mind. Only attachment to Rama's feet remained.
