# Uttar Kand · Doha 77b

**चौ०** 
> अरुन पानि नख करज मनोहर। बाहु बिसाल बिभूषन सुंदर॥  
> कंध बाल केहरि दर ग्रीवा। चारु चिबुक आनन छबि सींवा॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> कलबल बचन अधर अरुनारे। दुइ दुइ दसन बिसद बर बारे॥  
> ललित कपोल मनोहर नासा। सकल सुखद ससि कर सम हासा॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> नील कंज लोचन भव मोचन। भ्राजत भाल तिलक गोरोचन॥  
> बिकट भृकुटि सम श्रवन सुहाए। कुंचित कच मेचक छबि छाए॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> पीत झीनि झगुली तन सोही। किलकनि चितवनि भावति मोही॥  
> रूप रासि नृप अजिर बिहारी। नाचहिं निज प्रतिबिंब निहारी॥४॥

**चौ०** 
> मोहि सन करहिं बिबिधि बिधि क्रीड़ा। बरनत मोहि होति अति ब्रीड़ा॥  
> किलकत मोहि धरन जब धावहिं। चलउँ भागि तब पूप देखावहिं॥५॥

Meaning: “His roseate hands, nails and fingers were all captivating; His long arms were richly adorned. He had shoulders resembling those of a lion’s cub and a neck shaped like a conch, a lovely chin and a face which was the very perfection of beauty. (1)

“His speech was yet indistinct, His lips rosy and His mouth contained a pair of small pearly and shapely front teeth, both above and below. He had lovely cheeks, a charming nose and a smile which afforded delight and was bright as the rays of the moon. (2)

“His eyes, which resembled a pair of blue lotuses, broke the bonds of worldly existence; while His forehead gleamed with a sacred mark made with yellow sandal pigment. He had arched eyebrows, pretty well-matched ears and black and curly hair that scattered their charm all round. (3)

“A thin yellow garment set off His swarthy person, and His shrill gleeful cry and glance captivated me. Thus frolicking in the courtyard of the royal palace, the All-beautiful child Rāma danced at the sight of His own shadow, (4)

“and played with me in diverse ways, which I blush to narrate. Crying with joy as He ran to catch hold of me, I flew away; then (to attract me) He dangled before me a piece of cake. (5)

**दो०** 
> आवत निकट हँसहिं प्रभु भाजत रुदन कराहिं।  
> जाउँ समीप गहन पद फिरि फिरि चितइ पराहिं॥७७ (क)॥

**दो०** 
> प्राकृत सिसु इव लीला देखि भयउ मोहि मोह।  
> कवन चरित्र करत प्रभु चिदानंद संदोह॥७७ (ख)॥

Meaning: “As I went near Him, the lord smiled; but the moment I flew away He started crying. And when I approached Him to lay hold of His feet, He scampered off, turning round again and again to look at me. (77 A)

“Seeing Him play like an ordinary child, I was overcome with bewilderment as to what significant role worthy of Him was being played by the Lord, who is all-knowledge and bliss-personified? (77 B)
