As kahi phiri chitae tehi ora

Chaupai 2, Under Doha 230 · Bal Kand

Chaupai Text

अस कहि फिरि चितए तेहि ओरा। सिय मुख ससि भए नयन चकोरा॥ भए बिलोचन चारु अचंचल। मनहुँ सकुचि निमि तजे दिगंचल॥ २ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

asa kahi phiri cita'e tehi orā। siya mukha sasi bhae nayana cakorā॥ bhae bilocana cāru acaṃcala। manahuṃ sakuci nimi taje digaṃcala॥ 2 ॥

Meaning

Saying this, Shri Rama turned and looked that way. His eyes became chakoras gazing at the moon-like face of Sita. Those beautiful eyes grew still, fixed in a steady gaze. It was as though Nimi, embarrassed, had let go of the eyelids, unwilling to remain there and causing them not to blink.
