# Bal Kand · Doha 147

**चौ०** 
> सरद मयंक बदन छबि सींवा। चारु कपोल चिबुक दर ग्रीवा॥  
> अधर अरुन रद सुंदर नासा। बिधु कर निकर बिनिंदक हासा॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> नव अंबुज अंबक छबि नीकी। चितवनि ललित भावँती जी की॥  
> भृकुटि मनोज चाप छबि हारी। तिलक ललाट पटल दुतिकारी॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> कुंडल मकर मुकुट सिर भ्राजा। कुटिल केस जनु मधुप समाजा॥  
> उर श्रीबत्स रुचिर बनमाला। पदिक हार भूषन मनिजाला॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> केहरि कंधर चारु जनेऊ। बाहु बिभूषन सुंदर तेऊ॥  
> करि कर सरिस सुभग भुजदंडा। कटि निषंग कर सर कोदंडा॥४॥

Meaning: His countenance, which resembled the autumnal full moon, was the very perfection of beauty. Lovely were His cheeks and chin and His neck resembled the conch-shell in its spiral shape. His ruddy lips, teeth and nose were charming. His smile put to shame the rays of the moon. (1)

His eyes possessed the exquisite beauty of fresh-blown lotuses and His lovely glance captivated the heart. His eyebrows stole the beauty of Kāmadeva’s bow and a glowing sandal-paste Tilaka shone on His forehead. (2)

Fish-shaped ear-rings dangled from his ear-lobes and a crown adorned His head. His curly locks looked like a swarm of bees. His breast was marked by a curl of hair and adorned with a beautiful wreath of sylvan flowers, a string of precious stones and other jewelled ornaments. (3)

His strong and well-built neck resembled that of a lion and there was the lovely sacred thread. His long beautiful arms resembled the trunk of an elephant. The ornaments adorning them were also charming. A quiver was tied to His waist and His hands held an arrow and a bow. (4)

**दो०** 
> तड़ित बिनिंदक पीत पट उदर रेख बर तीनि।  
> नाभि मनोहर लेति जनु जमुन भवँर छबि छीनि॥ १४७ ॥

Meaning: His yellow robes put to shame streaks of lightning and His belly had three folds; while His attractive navel robbed, as it were, the eddies on the Yamunā of their beauty. (147)
