भूरिभाग-भाजनु भई। रूपरासि अवलोकि बंधु दोउ प्रेम-सुरंग रई॥ १ ॥ कहा कहैं, केहि भाँति सराहें, नहि करतूति नई। बिनु कारन करुनाकर रघुबर केहि-केहि गति न दई?॥ २ ॥ करि बहु बिनय, राखि उर मूरति मंगल-मोदमई। तुलसी ह्वै बिसोक पति-लोकहि प्रभुगुन गनत गई॥ ३ ॥

She became the vessel of immense good fortune. Beholding the two brothers, that treasury of beauty, she was dyed through with the color of love. (1) What can she say, and how can she praise him? This deed is nothing new. To whom has Raghubara, the causelessly compassionate one, not granted a blessed destiny? (2) After making many humble entreaties, she placed his auspicious, joy-filled form within her heart. Tulsī says: freed from sorrow, she departed for her husband's world, recounting the Lord's virtues. (3)
