श्रीहत भए भूप धनु टूटे। जैसें दिवस दीप छबि छूटे॥ सीय सुखहि बरनिअ केहि भाँती। जनु चातकी पाइ जलु स्वाती॥ ३ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
śrīhata bhaye bhūpa dhanu ṭūṭe। jaisẽ divasa dīpa chabi chūṭe॥ sīya sukhahi baraṇia kehi bhāṃtī। janu cātakī pāi jalu svātī॥ 3 ॥
Meaning
When the bow broke, the kings became deprived of splendor, as when the beauty of a lamp fades in daylight. How can Sita's happiness be described? It was like a chatak bird receiving the Swati raindrop.
