Original · Devanagari

तामर जल भूलनि सुकृति कलकरत ऊँच तलीमें बैठे हैं। अली मनमोद साँचि नाँचहिं गाति अति मनहरनि तान लेहीं॥ सिय रघुबर भौकनसी सुकि भुक्ति सरजु तरंगन झूलें हैं। सींचत दोउ सुचि सोतिब सिरपर वारि सुरसुमन बरसत देहीं॥ अली रसरंगमनी सब पारी कर जो लूटत नित सुख्यदहीं॥ ३ ॥ ॥ इति ॥

Fresh English translation

Seated high above the lotus-filled water, the blessed Couple perform their beautiful play. The companions, truly delighted at heart, dance and sing, taking up most captivating melodies. Sia and Raghu’s Lord swing upon Sarayu’s waves, which bestow both worldly enjoyment and liberation. They sprinkle one another with the pure current while the gods rain flowers upon their heads. Says Rasarangmani: the companions cast aside every restraint and continually plunder this bliss. Thus ends the work.
