Doha 243
सहज मनोहर मूरति दोऊ। कोटि काम उपमा लघु सोऊ॥ सरद चंद निंदक मुख नीके। नीरज नयन भावते जी के॥१॥
चितवनि चारु मार मनु हरनी। भावति हृदय जाति नहिं बरनी॥ कल कपोल श्रुति कुंडल लोला। चिबुक अधर सुंदर मृदु बोला॥२॥
कुमुदबंधु कर निंदक हाँसा। भृकुटी बिकट मनोहर नासा॥ भाल बिसाल तिलक झलकाहीं। कच बिलोकि अलि अवलि लजाहीं॥३॥
पीत चौतनीं सिरन्हि सुहाईं। कुसुम कलीं बिच बीच बनाईं॥ रेखें रुचिर कंबु कल गीवाँ। जनु त्रिभुवन सुषमा की सीवाँ॥४॥
Meaning
Both were embodiments of natural grace; even millions of Cupids were a poor match for them. Their charming faces mocked the autumnal moon, and their lotus-like eyes were soul-ravishing. (1) Their winning glances captivated the heart of even Cupid; they were so inexpressibly endearing. With beautiful cheeks, ears adorned with swinging pendants, a charming chin and lips and a sweet voice, (2) their smile ridiculed the moonbeams. With arched eyebrows and a beautiful nose, the sacred Tilaka shone on their broad forehead and their locks of hair put to shame the swarm of bees. (3) Yellow caps of a rectangular shape, which were embroidered here and there with figures of flower-buds, adorned their heads. Their necks, which vied in their spiral form with a conch-shell, bore a triple line and constituted, as it were, the high watermark of beauty in all the three worlds. (4)
कुंजर मनि कंठा कलित उरन्हि तुलसिका माल। बृषभ कंध केहरि ठवनि बल निधि बाहु बिसाल॥२४३॥
Meaning
Their breasts were adorned with necklaces of pearls found in elephants’ forehead and wreaths of Tulasī (basil) leaves. With shoulders resembling the lump of a bull, they stood like lions and had mighty long arms. (243)
