# Bal Kand · Doha 233

**चौ०** 
> सोभा सीवँ सुभग दोउ बीरा। नील पीत जलजाभ सरीरा॥  
> मोरपंख सिर सोहत नीके। गुच्छ बीच बिच कुसुम कली के॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> भाल तिलक श्रमबिंदु सुहाए। श्रवन सुभग भूषन छबि छाए॥  
> बिकट भृकुटि कच घूघरवारे। नव सरोज लोचन रतनारे॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> चारु चिबुक नासिका कपोला। हास बिलास लेत मनु मोला॥  
> मुखछबि कहि न जाइ मोहि पाहीं। जो बिलोकि बहु काम लजाहीं॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> 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)

**दो०** 
> 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)
