A springlike garden in the rains

Unit 24 of 28 · printed source page 17–18

Original · Devanagari

मैनजा मैन बनाव बिसाल लगी फुलवारि बसंत की नैंया। तामें हिंडोर रच्यो रसखोर किसोरी किसोर लसें मुख रैयाँ॥ नाचहिं गावहिं मंडरि भुलाय अली युगचंद्रकी दोउ बलेयाँ। संग सिया रसरंगमनी जन भूलत भूति रहे सिय सैयाँ॥ २४ ॥

Fresh English translation

Love has made a vast garden, looking like spring itself. There a swing is prepared, and the rasa-loving Maiden and Youth shine face to face. The companions gather, dance, and sing, waving away all else as they circle the two moonlike faces. Rasarangmani stays with Sia and her Lord, forgetting every other attainment.
