Doha 233
सोभा सीवँ सुभग दोउ बीरा। नील पीत जलजाभ सरीरा॥ मोरपंख सिर सोहत नीके। गुच्छ बीच बिच कुसुम कली के॥१॥
भाल तिलक श्रमबिंदु सुहाए। श्रवन सुभग भूषन छबि छाए॥ बिकट भृकुटि कच घूघरवारे। नव सरोज लोचन रतनारे॥२॥
चारु चिबुक नासिका कपोला। हास बिलास लेत मनु मोला॥ मुखछबि कहि न जाइ मोहि पाहीं। जो बिलोकि बहु काम लजाहीं॥३॥
उर मनि माल कंबु कल गीवा। काम कलभ कर भुज बलसींवा॥ सुमन समेत बाम कर दोना। सावँर कुअँर सखी सुठि लोना॥ ४॥
Meaning
The two gallant brothers were the very perfection of beauty; their bodies resembled in hue a blue and a yellow lotus, respectively. Charming peacock-feathers adorned their head, which had bunches of flower-buds stuck here and there. (1) The sacred Tilaka and beads of perspiration glistened on their brow; while graceful pendants shed their lustre on their ears. With arched eyebrows and curly locks, eyes red as a lotus-bud, (2) and a lovely chin, nose and cheeks, their gracious smile was soul-enthralling. The beauty of their countenance was more than I can describe; it would put to shame a myriad Cupids. (3) They had a string of jewels on their breast; their lovely neck resembled a conch-shell in its spiral shape; while their mighty arms vied with the trunk of a young elephant, the very incarnation of Cupid. With a bowl of leaves full of flowers in His left hand, the dark-complexioned prince, my dear, is most charming. (4)
केहरि कटि पट पीत धर सुषमा सील निधान। देखि भानुकुलभूषनहि बिसरा सखिन्ह अपान॥२३३॥
Meaning
Beholding Śrī Rāma, the ornament of the solar race, who had a slender waist like that of a lion and was clad in yellow, and who was the very embodiment of beauty and amiability, Sītā’s companions forgot their own self. (233)
