चौ०

नौमी तिथि मधु मास पुनीता। सुकल पच्छ अभिजित हरिप्रीता॥ मध्य दिवस अति सीत न घामा। पावन काल लोक बिश्रामा॥१॥

चौ०

सीतल मंद सुरभि बह बाऊ। हरषित सुर संतन मन चाऊ॥ बन कुसुमित गिरिगन मनिआरा। स्रवहिं सकल सरिताऽमृतधारा॥२॥

चौ०

सो अवसर बिरंचि जब जाना। चले सकल सुर साजि बिमाना॥ गगन बिमल संकुल सुर जूथा। गावहिं गुन गंधर्ब बरूथा॥३॥

चौ०

बरषहिं सुमन सुअंजुलि साजी। गहगहि गगन दुंदुभी बाजी॥ अस्तुति करहिं नाग मुनि देवा। बहुबिधि लावहिं निज निज सेवा॥४॥

Meaning

It was the ninth day of the bright half of the sacred month of Caitra (approximately April); the moon had entered the asterism named Abhijit, which is so dear to Śrī Hari. The sun was at its meridian; the day was neither cold nor hot. It was a holy time which gave tranquility to the whole world. (1) A cool, soft and fragrant breeze was blowing. The gods were feeling exhilarated and the saints were ecstatic. The woods were full of blossoms, the mountains were resplendent with gems and in every river flowed a stream of nectar. (2) When Brahmā perceived that the time (of Śrī Rāma’s birth) had come, all the gods (including Brahmā) came out with their aerial cars duly equipped. The bright heaven was crowded with their hosts and troops of Gandharvas chanted glories, (3) and rained down flowers holding them in their beautiful palms. The sky resounded with the beat of kettledrums. Nāgas, sages and gods offered glories and tendered their services in manifold ways. (4)

दो०

सुर समूह बिनती करि पहुँचे निज निज धाम। जगनिवास प्रभु प्रगटे अखिल लोक बिश्राम॥१९१॥

Meaning

Having offered their prayers, the gods returned to their respective abodes, when the Lord, the abode of the universe and the solace of all creation, manifested Himself. (191)
