Doha 316
केकि कंठ दुति स्यामल अंगा। तड़ित बिनिंदक बसन सुरंगा॥ ब्याह बिभूषन बिबिध बनाए। मंगल सब सब भाँति सुहाए॥१॥
सरद बिमल बिधु बदनु सुहावन। नयन नवल राजीव लजावन॥ सकल अलौकिक सुंदरताई। कहि न जाइ मनहीं मन भाई॥२॥
बंधु मनोहर सोहहिं संगा। जात नचावत चपल तुरंगा॥ राजकुअँर बर बाजि देखावहिं। बंस प्रसंसक बिरिद सुनावहिं॥३॥
जेहि तुरंग पर रामु बिराजे। गति बिलोकि खगनायकु लाजे॥ कहि न जाइ सब भाँति सुहावा। बाजि बेषु जनु काम बनावा॥४॥
Meaning
His swarthy form possessed the glow of a peacock’s neck, while His bright yellow raiment outshone lightning. Wedding ornaments of several varieties, all auspicious and graceful in everyway, adorned His person. (1) His countenance was as delightful as the moon in a cloudless autumnal night; while His eyes put to shame a blooming pair of lotuses. The elegance of His form was transcendent in all its details; captivating the mind, it defied description. (2) Beside Him shone forth His lovely brothers, who rode curveting their restive steed. The other princes too displayed the pace of their horses and the family bards recited the glories of their lineage. (3) Even the king of birds, Garuḍa, blushed with shyness to note the speed of the steed that Śrī Rāma bestrode; it was charming beyond description in everyway; it seemed as though Cupid himself had taken the form of the horse. (4)
जनु बाजि बेषु बनाइ मनसिजु राम हित अति सोहई। आपनें बय बल रूप गुन गति सकल भुवन बिमोहई॥ जगमगत जीनु जराव जोति सुमोति मनि मानिक लगे। किंकिनि ललाम लगामु ललित बिलोकि सुर नर मुनि ठगे॥
Meaning
It seemed as if Cupid himself had appeared with all his charm in the disguise of a horse for the sake of Śrī Rāma and fascinated the whole universe with its youth and vigour, form and virtues, as well as with its pace. A bejewelled saddle, thickly set with beautiful pearls, gems and rubies shone on his back; the exquisite band, with small tinkling bells and the lovely bridle, dazed gods, men and sages alike.
प्रभु मनसहिं लयलीन मनु चलत बाजि छबि पाव। भूषित उड़गन तड़ित घनु जनु बर बरहि नचाव॥ ३१६ ॥
Meaning
Marching with its mind completely merged in the Lord’s will, the horse looked most charming, as though a cloud irradiated by stars and the fitful lightning had mounted a peacock and made it dance. (316)
