देखि! हैं पथिक गौर-साँवरे सुभगा हैं। सुतिय सलोनी संग सोहति सुभगा हैं॥ १ ॥ सोभासिंधु-संभव-से नीके नीके नग हैं। मातु-पितु-भाग बस गए परि फँदा हैं॥ २ ॥ पाँइ पनही न, मृदु पंकज-से पग हैं। रूपकी मोहनी मेलि मोहे अग-जग हैं॥ ३ ॥ मुनि-बेष धरे, धनु-सायक सुलग हैं। तुलसी-हिये लसत लोने लोने डग हैं॥ ४ ॥

Look! The fair and dark travelers are radiant with beauty. A lovely, graceful woman shines beautifully beside them. (1) They are exquisite jewels born from the ocean of beauty; By the fortune of their parents, they have come and fallen into our snare of sight. (2) They have no sandals on their feet, and their steps are tender as lotuses. Casting beauty’s enchantment, they have bewitched the moving and unmoving world. (3) They wear the dress of sages, and bows and arrows become them well. Tulsī says their lovely, lovely steps shine within his heart. (4)
