चुपरि उबटि अन्हवाइकै नयन आँजे, चिर रुचि तिलक गोरोचनको कियो है। भ्रूपर अनूप मसिबिंदु, बारे बारे बार बिलसत सीसपर, हेरि हरै हियो है॥ १ ॥ मोदभरी गोद लिये लालति सुमित्रा देखि देव कहैं, सबको सुकृत उपवियो है। मातु, पितु, प्रिय, परिजन, पुरजन धन्य, पुन्यपुंज पेखि पेखि प्रेमरस पियो है॥ २ ॥ लोहित ललित लघु चरन-कमल चारु, चाल चाहि सो छबि सुकबि जिय जियो है। बालकेलि बातबस झलकि झलमलत सोभाकी दीयटि मानो रूप-दीप दियो है॥ ३ ॥ राम-सिसु सानुज चरित चारु गाइ-सुनि सुजनन सादर जनम-लाहु लियो है। तुलसी बिहाइ दसरथ दसचारिपुर ऐसे सुख जोग बिधि बिरच्यो न बियो है॥ ४ ॥
After oiling, rubbing, and bathing them, they line the children's eyes and lovingly make a long tilak of yellow gorocanā. An incomparable dot of kohl rests above each brow; tiny locks shine upon their heads, stealing the heart of whoever looks. (1) Seeing Sumitrā hold and fondle them in a lap filled with delight, the gods say, “Everyone's merit has borne fruit.” Blessed are mother, father, loved ones, household, and townspeople, who gaze upon this mass of merit and drink the nectar of love. (2) Their small, lovely, crimson lotus-feet are beautiful; fine poets' hearts live by longing for the beauty of their gait. Tossed by the breeze of childhood play, the child flickers and gleams— a lamp of form set upon beauty's lampstand. (3) By reverently singing and hearing the lovely deeds of the child Rāma and his brothers, good people have gained the profit of human birth. Tulsī says: apart from Daśaratha, in all fourteen worlds Fate fashioned no other union with happiness such as this. (4)
