# Bal Kand · Doha 219

**चौ०** 
> मुनि पद कमल बंदि दोउ भ्राता। चले लोक लोचन सुख दाता॥  
> बालक बृंद देखि अति सोभा। लगे संग लोचन मनु लोभा॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> पीत बसन परिकर कटि भाथा। चारु चाप सर सोहत हाथा॥  
> तन अनुहरत सुचंदन खोरी। स्यामल गौर मनोहर जोरी॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> केहरि कंधर बाहु बिसाला। उर अति रुचिर नागमनि माला॥  
> सुभग सोन सरसीरुह लोचन। बदन मयंक तापत्रय मोचन॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> कानन्हि कनक फूल छबि देहीं। चितवत चितहि चोरि जनु लेहीं॥  
> चितवनि चारु भृकुटि बर बाँकी। तिलक रेख सोभा जनु चाँकी॥४॥

Meaning: Saluting the lotus-feet of the sage, the two brothers, the delight of the eyes of the whole world, left (for the city). Beholding the exquisite beauty of the two brothers, troops of boys followed them, their eyes and mind being enamoured of them. (1)

Clad in yellow garments they had a quiver fastened at their back, with a cloth (of the same colour) wrapped round their waist; their hands were adorned with a graceful bow and arrow. The beautiful pair, one of whom dark and the other fair, had streaks of (red or white) sandalwood paste applied on their brow so as to match the complexion. (2)

With neck as well-built as the lion’s and long arms, they had on their bosom an exquisite string of pearls obtained from the forehead of elephants. Their lovely eyes resembled the red lotus; and the moon-like face relieved one of the threefold agony. (3)

Pendants of gold in their ears were of exquite charm, which stole, as it were, the hearts of those who looked on them. They had a bewitching glance and a pair of arched and shapely eyebrows; the lines of the sacred Tilaka on the forehead looked as if beauty personified had been sealed there. (4)

**दो०** 
> रुचिर चौतनीं सुभग सिर मेचक कुंचित केस।  
> नख सिख सुंदर बंधु दोउ सोभा सकल सुदेस॥२१९॥

Meaning: Their beautiful heads were covered with charming rectangular caps and dark curly locks. The two brothers were lovely from head to foot; the beauty of every limb was as it should be. (219)
