Chaupai Text

नव अंबुज अंबक छबि नीकी। चितवनि ललित भावँती जी की॥ भृकुटि मनोज चाप छबि हारी। तिलक ललाट पटल दुतिकारी॥ २ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

nava aṃbuja aṃbaka chabi nīkī। citavani lalita bhāvaṃtī jī kī॥ bhṛkuṭi manoja cāpa chabi hārī। tilaka lalāṭa paṭala dutikārī॥ 2 ॥

Meaning

The beauty of the eyes was like fresh lotuses. The lovely glance was very dear. The arched brows robbed Cupid’s bow of its splendor. A radiant tilak adorned the forehead.
