Jagai manobhav muehun man ban subhagata

Chhand, Under Doha 86 · Bal Kand

Chhand Text

जागइ मनोभव मुएहुँ मन बन सुभगता न परै कही। सीतल सुगंध सुमंद मारुत मदन अनल सखा सही॥ बिकसे सरन्हि बहु कंज गुंजत पुंज मंजुल मधुकरा। कलहंस पिक सुक सरस रव करि गान नाचहिं अपछरा॥

Transliteration (IAST)

jāgai manobhava muehuṃ mana bana subhagatā na parai kahī। sītala sugaṃdha sumaṃda māruta madana anala sakhā sahī॥ bikase saranhaṃ bahu kaṃja guṃjata puṃja maṃjula madhukarā। kalahaṃsa pika suka sarasa rava kari gāna nācahiṃ apacharā॥

Meaning

Kamadeva awakened even in dead hearts; the beauty of the forest cannot be described. The true friend of the fire of desire was the cool, gentle, fragrant breeze. In the lakes, many lotuses bloomed, and swarms of lovely bees began to hum over them. Swan, cuckoo, and parrot sang sweetly, and the celestial nymphs danced as they sang.
