# Bal Kand · Doha 232

**चौ०** 
> चितवति चकित चहूँ दिसि सीता। कहँ गए नृपकिसोर मनु चिंता॥  
> जहँ बिलोक मृग सावक नैनी। जनु तहँ बरिस कमल सित श्रेनी॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> लता ओट तब सखिन्ह लखाए। स्यामल गौर किसोर सुहाए॥  
> देखि रूप लोचन ललचाने। हरषे जनु निज निधि पहिचाने॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> थके नयन रघुपति छबि देखें। पलकन्हिहूँ परिहरीं निमेषें॥  
> अधिक सनेहँ देह भै भोरी। सरद ससिहि जनु चितव चकोरी॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> लोचन मग रामहि उर आनी। दीन्हे पलक कपाट सयानी॥  
> जब सिय सखिन्ह प्रेमबस जानी। कहि न सकहिं कछु मन सकुचानी॥४॥

Meaning: Sītā looked surprisingly all round; Her mind was at a loss as to where the princes had gone. Wherever the fawn-eyed princess cast Her glance, a continuous stream of white lotuses seemed to rain there. (1)

Her companions then pointed out to Her the two lovely brothers, the one dark, the other fair of hue, standing behind a fence of creepers. Beholding the beauty of the two princes Her eyes were filled with longing; they rejoiced as if they had discovered their longlost treasure. (2)

The eyes became motionless at the sight of Śrī Rāma’s loveliness; the eyelids stopped to blink. Due to excess of love Her body-consciousness began to fail; it looked as if a Cakora bird were gazing at the autumnal moon. (3)

Receiving Śrī Rāma into the heart through the passage of the eyes, She cleverly shut Him up there by closing the doors of Her eyelids. When Her girl-companions found Sītā overpowered with love, they were too much abashed to utter a word. (4)

**दो०** 
> लताभवन तें प्रगट भे तेहि अवसर दोउ भाइ।  
> निकसे जनु जुग बिमल बिधु जलद पटल बिलगाइ॥२३२॥

Meaning: At that very moment the two brothers emerged from a bower. It looked as if a pair of spotless moons had shone forth tearing the veil of cloud. (232)
