सहज मनोहर मूरति दोऊ। कोटि काम उपमा लघु सोऊ॥ सरद चंद निंदक मुख नीके। नीरज नयन भावते जी के॥ १ ॥

sahaja manohara mūrati dou। koṭi kāma upamā laghu soū॥ sarada canda nindaka mukha nīke। nīraja nayana bhāvate jī ke॥ 1 ॥

Meaning

Both forms are naturally enchanting. Even the comparison with millions of Kamadevas is too small for them. Their lovely faces put the autumn moon to shame, and their lotus-like eyes delight the mind.
