सखि! रघुनाथ-रूप निहारु। सरद-बिधु रबि-सुवन मनसिज-मान भंजनिहारु॥ १ ॥ स्याम सुभग सरीर जन-मन-काम-पूरनिहारु। चारुचंदन मनहु मरकत-सिखर लसत निहारु॥ २ ॥ रुचिर उर उपबीत राजत पदिक गजमनि-हारु। मनहु सुरधनु नखतगन बिच तिमिर-भंजनिहारु॥ ३ ॥ बिमल पीत दुकूल दामिनि-दुति-बिनिंदनिहारु। बदन सुषमासदन सोभित मदन-मोहनिहारु॥ ४ ॥ सकल अंग अनूप, नहि कोउ सुकबि बरननिहारु। दास तुलसी निरखतहि सुख लहत निरखनिहारु॥ ५ ॥
Friend, behold Raghunātha's form, which humbles the pride of the autumn moon, the Aśvin twins, and the Love-god. (1) His beautiful dark body fulfills the wishes in his people's hearts; behold the lovely sandal paste shining upon it like mist on an emerald peak. (2) Upon his lovely breast shine the sacred thread, a jeweled pendant, and a necklace of elephant pearls, like a rainbow and hosts of stars surrounding the sun that destroys darkness. (3) His spotless yellow mantle puts lightning's radiance to shame, while his face—abode of beauty—shines so as to enchant Love himself. (4) Every limb is incomparable; no good poet can describe him. The servant Tulsī says that those who behold him receive happiness the moment they see him. (5)
