Chhand Text
चलि ल्याइ सीतहि सखीं सादर सजि सुमंगल भामिनीं। नवसप्त साजे सुंदरीं सब मत्त कुंजर गामिनीं॥ कल गान सुनि मुनि ध्यान त्यागहिं काम कोकिल लाजहीं। मंजीर नूपुर कलित कंकन ताल गति बर बाजहीं॥
Transliteration (IAST)
cali lyāi sītahi sakhīṃ sādara saji sumaṅgala bhāminīṃ। navasapta sāje sundarīṃ saba matta kuṃjara gāminīṃ॥ kala gāna suni muni dhyāna tyāgahiṃ kāma kokila lājahīṃ। mañjīra nūpura kalita kaṅkana tāla gati bara bājahīṃ॥
Meaning
The ladies, beautifully adorned in auspicious attire, respectfully led Sita along. All were graceful in every ornament and moved with the gait of maddened elephants. Hearing their sweet singing, even sages abandon meditation, and the cuckoos of desire are shamed. The anklets, bells, and bracelets ring beautifully in rhythm with their steps.
