Crowns upon both heads, wedding ornaments, and fine garments upon both bodies— no comparison can be found for their beauty. Blessings, blessings!

Those whom yogis yearn to behold sit resplendent in the pavilion; great indeed is Mithila’s fortune today. Blessings, blessings!
Like chakori birds abandoning the lovely moon for a moment to gaze at them— such are the eyes of Nehalatika. Blessings, blessings!

Blessings upon Raghubara’s matchless beauty—blessings, blessings! Blessings upon the wondrous splendor of Shyamasundara—blessings, blessings!
A marvelous crown shines upon his head; astonishing kohl fills his eyes; earrings, garland, and tilak adorn him today. Blessings, blessings!
His smile is lovely and captivating, and the row of his teeth steals the heart; a gem flashes upon his nose. Blessings, blessings!
A yellow garment girds his waist and his scarf flashes like lightning; tinkling ornaments resound at his feet. Blessings, blessings!
A lovely sacred thread shines upon his body; curls and brows enchant the mind; the beauty of his every limb wards all sorrow from the heart. Blessings, blessings!
