Fresh English translation

[120] A loving messenger announces Lalī and Lāla's arrival and leads them, eyes fixed fearfully between their radiances. [121] Amid flowers the retinue displays wondrous arts, dance, song, laughter, and streams of rasa. [122] When will that green blessed day delight my heart, letting me dwell in the relishable assembly and behold all these acts? [123] Drinking each moment the honey-nectar of their moon-faces, I shall never be satisfied and shall increase their ornaments. [124] Lalī and Lāla enter in many colours and sit in the fine sleeping chamber that removes fatigue. [125] When shall my eyes directly see that spotless chamber of beauty, radiant as a hundred moons and suns? [126] Its incomparable jeweled couch is sweetly fashioned and furnished with every joy-producing article. [127] The companions lovingly prepare the pure couch and seat Lalī and Lāla while the queens of rasa watch. [128] Seasonally suited articles and colours for play are placed all around as the attendants remember with ardour. [129] Companions sing and play vīṇā and other instruments from hidden corners, delighting the abodes of love. [130] The lovely Couple shine upon the incomparable couch, forms of relishable beauty, steeped in joy and Love.
