Doha 318
बिधुबदनीं सब सब मृगलोचनि। सब निज तन छबि रति मदु मोचनि॥ पहिरें बरन बरन बर चीरा। सकल बिभूषन सजें सरीरा॥१॥
सकल सुमंगल अंग बनाएँ। करहिं गान कलकंठि लजाएँ॥ कंकन किंकिनि नूपुर बाजहिं। चालि बिलोकि काम गज लाजहिं॥२॥
बाजहिं बाजने बिबिध प्रकारा। नभ अरु नगर सुमंगलचारा॥ सची सारदा रमा भवानी। जे सुरतिय सुचि सहज सयानी॥३॥
कपट नारि बर बेष बनाई। मिलीं सकल रनिवासहिं जाई॥ करहिं गान कल मंगल बानीं। हरष बिबस सब काहुँ न जानीं॥४॥
Meaning
They all had moon-like faces, and eyes like those of a gazelle; by the elegance of their form they robbed Rati (Love’s consort) of all self-conceit. Attired in costly garments of various colours, they had adorned their person with all kinds of ornaments. (1) They had further beautified all their limbs with auspicious articles and marks, and sang melodies that put to shame even a female cuckoo. Bracelets, small bells on their waistband as well as anklets made a jingling sound as they moved and even Love’s elephants blushed with shame to see their gait. (2) All kinds of music was played and there was auspicious chanting of hymns both in the heavens and in the city. Śacī (Indra’s consort), Sarasvatī, Ramā, Pārvatī and other goddesses, who were pure-hearted by nature and intelligent, (3) assumed the disguise of lovely women and joined the royal gynaeceum. They sang festal songs in a melodious voice; and as everyone was overcome with joy, no one recognized them. (4)
को जान केहि आनंद बस सब ब्रह्मु बर परिछन चली। कल गान मधुर निसान बरषहिं सुमन सुर सोभा भली॥ आनंदकंदु बिलोकि दूलहु सकल हियँ हरषित भई। अंभोज अंबक अंबु उमगि सुअंग पुलकावलि छई॥
Meaning
Who would recognize whom, when everyone in the gynaeceum proceeded in ecstatic joy to join the ceremony of performing Āratī of the bridegroom, who was no other than the Supreme Spirit-incarnate. Melodious songs were being sung and kettledrums gently sounded; the gods rained down flowers and everything looked most charming. All the women were delighted at heart to behold the bridegroom, who was the fountain of joy; tears of love rushed to their lotus-like eyes and thrill ran through their pretty limbs.
जो सुखु भा सिय मातु मन देखि राम बर बेषु। सो न सकहिं कहि कलप सत सहस सारदा सेषु॥३१८॥
Meaning
The joy which Sītā’s mother, Sunayanā, felt in her heart on beholding Śrī Rāma in the attire of a bridegroom was such that even a thousand Sarasvatīs and Śeṣas could not relate in a hundred Kalpas. (318)
