देखि महीप सकल सकुचाने। बाज झपट जनु लवा लुकाने॥ गौरि सरीर भूति भल भ्राजा। भाल बिसाल त्रिपुंड बिराजा॥ २ ॥

dekhi mahīpa sakala sakucāne। bāja jhapaṭa janu lavā lukāne॥ gauri sarīra bhūti bhala bhrājā। bhāla bisāla tripuṇḍa birājā॥ 2 ॥

Meaning

Seeing him, all the kings grew bashful, as quails do when a hawk swoops down upon them. Sacred ash looks beautiful on his fair body, and the broad tripundra shines brilliantly on his forehead.

Context

This is Chaupai 2, Under Doha 268 from Bal Kand, in the episode “Sita Garlands Rama”. The episode describes Sita joyfully garlanding Rama after the bow-breaking amid divine flower showers.
