सिय बरनिअ तेइ उपमा देई। कुकबि कहाइ अजसु को लेई॥ जौं पटतरिअ तीय सम सीया। जग असि जुबति कहाँ कमनीया॥ २ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
siya barania tei upamā deī। kukabi kahāi ajasu ko leī॥ jaũ paṭataria tīya sama sīyā। jaga asi jubati kahāṃ kamanīyā॥ 2 ॥
Meaning
Who would use those same comparisons in describing Sita and become known as a bad poet, earning disgrace? To apply such comparisons to Sita is to fall from the standing of a true poet and invite infamy. And if one tries to compare her with any woman, where in this world is there another lovely maiden like her?
Context
This is Chaupai 2, Under Doha 247 from Bal Kand, in the episode “Vishvamitra Enters the Assembly”. The episode describes Vishvamitra entering the great assembly with Rama and Lakshmana, each beholder seeing the princes according to their own devotion.
