Dekhi Vibheeshan Bhayavu

Ravana riding on
the chariot and Rama without it
Was seen by Vibheeshana who became scared and lost his courage

ka sandhehaa
Bandhi Charan kah sahith snehaa
More love and
doubt in mind
He caught hold of
his feet and with love told
नाथ न रथ नहिं तन पद त्राना।

The lord does not have
chariot and has to manage by his feet
This is the fate, though he is valorous and strong

जेहिं जय होइ सो स्यंदन आना।।4।।
Sunahu SAkhaa kah
Kripaa nidhanaa
Jehin jaya hoie so syandhan aanaa
Please hear friend, said
the treasure of mercy
It is not true
that those who ride
on chariot will win
सौरज धीरज तेहि रथ चाका।
सत्य सील दृढ़ ध्वजा पताका।।5।।

rath chaakaa
Sathya sheel drida dwajaa

rides on chariot of honesty and bravery
With a firm flag of
character of truth

horses

gur pooja
Yehi sam vijay upai na dhoojaa
The unbreakable armour of worship of Brahmin Guru
