जयमाल जानकी जलजकर लई है। सुमन सुमंगल सगुनको बनाइ मंजु, मानहु मदनमाली आपु निरमई है॥ १ ॥ राज-रुख लखि गुर भूसुर सुआसिनिन्ह, समय-समाजको ठवनि भली ठई है। चली गान करत, निसान बाजे गहगहे, लहलहे लोयन सनेह सरसई है॥ २ ॥ हन्ति देव दुंदुभी हरषि बरषत फूल, सफल मनोरथ भौ, सुख-सुचितई है। पुरजन-परिजन, रानी-राउ प्रमुदित, मनसा अनूप राम-रूप-रंग रई है॥ ३ ॥ सतानंद-सिष सुनि पाँय परि पहिराई, माल सिय पिय-हिय, सोहत सो भई है। मानसतें निकसि बिसाल सुतमालपर, मानहुँ मरालपाँति बैठी बनि गई है॥ ४ ॥ हितनिके लाहकी, उछाहकी, बिनोद-मोद, सोभाकी अवधि नहि अब अधिकई है। याते बिपरीत अनहितनकी जानि लीबी गति, कहैं प्रगट, खुनिस खासी खई है॥ ५ ॥ निज निज बेदकी सप्रेम जोग-छेम-मई, मुदित असीस बिप्र बिदुषनि दई है। छबि तेहि कालकी कृपालु सीतादूलहकी हुलसति हिये तुलसीके नित नई है॥ ६ ॥
Jānakī took the victory-garland in her lotus hand. Its flowers were auspicious and its beautiful cord an omen of good— as though Love himself, the gardener, had fashioned it. (1) Reading the king's intent, the guru, Brahmins, and married women arranged the occasion and assembly in fitting beauty. The companions went singing while the drums resounded; their eager eyes brimmed with the sweetness of affection. (2) The gods beat celestial drums, rejoicing as they showered flowers. Their wish was fulfilled, bringing happiness and peace. Townspeople, kin, queen, and king were delighted, their minds dyed in the matchless color of Rāma's form. (3) Hearing Śatānanda's instruction, Sītā bowed at the feet and placed the garland upon her beloved's breast, where it shone so beautifully— as though a line of swans had flown from Lake Mānasa and settled upon a broad, handsome tamāla tree. (4) For the Lord's friends no greater limit exists to gain, enthusiasm, playful delight, festivity, or splendor. Know the enemies' fate to be its opposite: plainly, rage and consuming envy have swallowed them whole. (5) Learned Brahmins joyfully gave loving blessings for the preservation and increase taught in their respective Vedas. The gracious bridegroom of Sītā's beauty at that moment ever rises new and exultant within Tulsī's heart. (6)
