मुनि अति बिकल मोहँ मति नाठी। मनि गिरि गई छूटि जनु गाँठी॥ तब हर गन बोले मुसुकाई। निज मुख मुकुर बिलोकहु जाई॥ ३ ॥

Meaning
Because of delusion, the sage's understanding had been lost, and he became deeply agitated at seeing the princess. It was as if a jewel had slipped free from a knot and fallen. Then Shiva's attendants smiled and said, 'Go and look at your own face in a mirror!'
