पलंग ते उतरि दोउ चौकी रतन जटित तापै बैठि लाल प्यारी दंतधावन करत। कंचन रतन झारी युग अलिवर सरन बारि बारि देत सुख छवि हरत॥ दीरघ आदरश देखि चन्द्रकला तन सुधि ना आलसता हरत। युगलप्रिया कोमल पट मुख दृग निरत रसिक जननि जीवन धन धरत॥

Fresh English translation

The Beloved Pair descends from the bed and sits upon a jewel-set stool to clean their teeth. Two foremost companions offer water again and again from golden, gemmed ewers; the joyful sight steals the mind. Gazing into a tall mirror, Chandrakala forgets her body while removing their drowsiness. With a soft cloth Yugalapriya attends to face and eyes, holding the treasure that is the rasika devotees' life.
