Doha 126
तेहि आश्रमहिं मदन जब गयऊ। निज मायाँ बसंत निरमयऊ॥ कुसुमित बिबिध बिटप बहुरंगा। कूजहिं कोकिल गुंजहिं भृंगा॥१॥
चली सुहावनि त्रिबिध बयारी। काम कृसानु बढ़ावनिहारी॥ रंभादिक सुरनारि नबीना। सकल असमसर कला प्रबीना॥२॥
करहिं गान बहु तान तरंगा। बहुबिधि क्रीड़हिं पानि पतंगा॥ देखि सहाय मदन हरषाना। कीन्हेसि पुनि प्रपंच बिधि नाना॥३॥
काम कला कछु मुनिहि न ब्यापी। निज भयँ डरेउ मनोभव पापी॥ सीम कि चाँपि सकइ कोउ तासू। बड़ रखवार रमापति जासू॥४॥
Meaning
When Kāmadeva, the god of love, reached that hermitage, he created a semblance of the vernal season by his illusory power. Many coloured blossoms appeared on the trees of different kinds; cuckoos sang and bees hummed. (1) Delightful breezes, cool, soft and fragrant, blew, fanning the flame of passion. Rambhā and other heavenly damsels, who looked ever young and were all past masters in amorous sports, (2) sang in undulating tones of various kinds and sported in many ways, ball in hand. Kāmadeva, god of love, was delighted to see his associates there and employed a variety of cunning stratagems. (3) But his amorous plays had no effect on the sage. Guilty Cupid was now apprehensive of his own destruction. Can anyone dare to trespass the bounds of him who has the Lord of Lakṣmī as his great protector. (4)
सहित सहाय सभीत अति मानि हारि मन मैन। गहेसि जाइ मुनि चरन तब कहि सुठि आरत बैन॥१२६॥
Meaning
In dire dismay, Kāmadeva, the god of love, with his accomplices acknowledged his defeat and clasped the sage’s feet, addressing him in accents of deep humility. (126)
