सावनी सुतीज मोदबीज रसरंगमनी मनीकूट कुंजबीच फूलेतरु सावनी। सावनी अघानि हरी सावनी सरजुभरी सावनी मधुरझरी मेघ बरसावनी॥ सावनी सुसारी भारी भामिनी समूह गावें सावनी सुराग रंग गाति दरसावनी। सावनी पुसाक राम स्वामिनी सँवारि झूलें सावनी सुभलनि सनेह सरसावनी॥ ८ ॥

The monsoon is a beautiful radiance and a seed of delight, says Rasarangmani; in the jeweled bower the trees have flowered with monsoon splendor. The monsoon satisfies; it is green, it fills Sarayu, and the clouds rain its sweet showers. A great company of lovely women sings monsoon songs, displaying melody, color, and movement. Rama’s Lady, dressed in monsoon attire, swings; the good companions are saturated with the monsoon’s love.
