Chhand Text
कोटिहुँ बदन नहिं बनै बरनत जग जननि सोभा महा। सकुचहिं कहतश्रुति सेष सारद मंदमति तुलसी कहा॥ छबिखानि मातु भवानि गवनीं मध्य मंडप सिव जहाँ। अवलोकि सकहिं न सकुच पति पद कमल मनु मधुकरु तहाँ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
koṭihuṃ badana nahin banai baranata jaga janani sobhā mahā। sakuchahiṃ kahataśruti seṣa sārada mandaṃmati tulasī kahā॥ chabikhāni mātu bhavāni gavanīṃ madhya maṃḍapa siva jahāṃ। avaloki sakahiṃ na sakuca pati pada kamala manu madhukaru tahāṃ॥
Meaning
Even with millions of mouths, the great splendor of the Mother of the Universe cannot be described. The Vedas, Shesha, and Saraswati themselves hesitate in speaking of it; then what account is dull-witted Tulsidas? Mother Bhavani, the mine of beauty, went to the center of the pavilion where Shiva was. Out of modesty she could not look upon her husband’s lotus feet, but her mind, like a bumblebee, remained there.
Context
This is Chhand, Under Doha 100 from Bal Kand, in the episode “Shiva's Wondrous Wedding Procession”. The episode describes Shiva's wondrous wedding procession and auspicious bridal preparations at Himavan's palace.
