Fresh English translation
[The mūlatāla song continues:] Companions come from every direction, their limbs filled with enchanting qualities. Kṛpānivāsa says that the ever-auspicious joy of Sītā and Rāma is for their worshippers. (2) Dhamāl tāla: Friend, Raghubar dances with Sītā in a lovely gait. In the middle of the rāsa-circle, the two put their arms about one another and perform upati-rap-tā-tā-theī. (1) Anklets sound as their feet fall exactly upon the beat; the accomplished singers raise the seven notes. Kṛpānivāsa's heart is filled with delight, and the companions cry, ‘Victory, victory, victory to Raghubar!’ (2) Rāga Jayat Śrī, mūlatāla: How beautifully Rāma—the rasika lord and consummate dancer—dances beneath a banyan's shade on the bank of the Sarayū. Cloth and veil flick and snap in sudden turns. (1) A loosened curl sways; the waist bends, clasps, and darts through playful feints. Kṛpānivāsa says that the quick, restless lock of hair, keeping time upon the body, plunders the companions' hearts.
