Appendix: Jayamāla-Pada
Bend down as she places the victory garland around your neck, darling of the Raghu line. My beloved is small and cannot reach your neck, darling of the Raghu line. My Kishori, daughter of Avadh's lord, is exceedingly slender; lower yourself within reach of her hands, darling of the Raghu line. Our Sita is an innocent, artless young woman; she does not yet know the arts of love's play, darling of the Raghu line. Friend, remain bowed before your beloved so her arm will not grow tired; bend far enough that Sita may reach your neck, darling of the Raghu line.
