Chhand Text
निज पानि मनि महुँ देखिअति मूरति सुरूपनिधान की। चालति न भुजबल्ली बिलोकनि बिरह भय बस जानकी॥ कौतुक बिनोद प्रमोदु प्रेमु न जाइ कहि जानहिं अलीं। बर कुअँरि सुंदर सकल सखीं लवाइ जनवासेहि चलीं॥ ३ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
nija pāni mani mahuṃ dekhirati mūrati surūpanidhāna kī। cālati na bhujaballī bilokani biraha bhaya basa jānakī॥ kautuka binodu pramodu premu na jāi kahi jānahiṃ alīṃ। bara kuaṃri suṃdara sakala sakhīṃ lavāi janavāsehiṃ calīṃ॥ 3 ॥
Meaning
In the jewels on her own hand, she sees the reflection of the image of the treasure-house of beauty. Seeing this, Janaki, fearing separation in the act of gazing, does not move her vine-like arms. The joy of play, delight, merriment, and love cannot be described; only the maids know it. Then all the beautiful maidens led the bride and groom away to the bridal lodging.
