चारु चरन नख लेखति धरनी। नूपुर मुखर मधुर कबि बरनी॥ मनहुँ प्रेम बस बिनती करहीं। हमहि सीय पद जनि परिहरहीं॥ ३ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
cāru carana nakha lekhati dharanī। nūpura mukhara madhura kabi baranī॥ manahuṃ prema basa binitī karahīṃ। hamahi sīya pada jani pariharahīṃ॥ 3 ॥
Meaning
Sita is tracing the earth with the nails of her beautiful feet. As the anklets make their sweet sound, the poet describes it as if, overcome by love, they were pleading: 'May Sita’s feet never abandon us.'
