अलि अलि कोकिल कीर मोर बोलत जस पिय मन । श्रवत सुधा तरु बिहंग द्रवत धन ध्यान रसिक जन ॥५॥ धेनु बेनुधर केरि रोम प्रति अमित धेनु सुर । सत सविज्ञान विज्ञान रूप रस भक्ति धरम धुर । ओर जम्बू फल चिन्ह जात पुर मध्य श्याम जल । कोउ विरजा कह सो तो नादि प्रभुनल विहार थल ॥६॥ ॥ सुगंधा छन्द ॥ मनि मानिक सोपान कूल दुहुँ चमकई । जनु घन ढिग उर तड़ित अमित शशि दमकई । विकसित रंग अनेक कमल अलि गुंजहीं । जिमि गद गद स्वर नाचि सुजन हरि पूजहीं ॥१॥ तेहि तट तरु वर सघन नाम वृन्दावन । रतन फूल फल परन सदा जस प्रभु मन । तह बिहरत ललि लाल सखा सखि क्रोरिन । रामचरण रस रीझि सुरंग लिहे फोरिन ॥२॥ विहँसिं सुन्दरी सुरंग श्याम पर डारहीं । प्रभु हँसि संखन सहित पिचकारिनि मारहीं । विशद बसन तन क्लीन रंग भरे सोहहीं । निर्मल शश सुख भोरि लाल मन मोहहीं ॥३॥ बेसरि शंग चष चपल भाल बेंदी कसे । बिधु उर शिर जनु देव असुर गुरु से बसे

The stanza from the preceding page concludes: bees, cuckoos, parrots, and peacocks call as the beloved desires; hearing that nectar, the forest birds and rasika contemplatives melt. (6) Each hair of the flute-bearing Cowherd is a celestial cow; truth, direct knowing, discriminating knowledge, rasa, devotion, and dharma rest upon him. In the city's center lies dark water marked like the jambu fruit. Some call it Virajā, but it has no beginning: it is the Lord's field of play. In sugandhā meter: (1) Jeweled and ruby steps make both banks flash, like countless moons and lightning shining beside a cloud. Many-colored lotuses bloom while bees hum, like good people dancing with choked voices as they worship Hari. (2) On that bank is the dense, excellent grove named Vṛndāvana, eternally bearing jeweled flowers, fruit, and leaves according to the Lord's desire. There the darling pair sport with crores of male and female companions; Rāmacaraṇa, enchanted by rasa, describes the bright colors they scatter. (3) Laughing beauties fling color upon dark Śyāma; the Lord laughs and sprays them back with syringes alongside his companions. Their translucent garments cling to their bodies, filled with color; the pure moon of bliss rises and the beloved enchants every heart. The page ends as the next stanza begins to describe the nose-ring, restless eyes, forehead mark, and celestial ornaments.
