Sundarata kahun sundar karai

Chaupai 4, Under Doha 230 · Bal Kand

Chaupai Text

सुंदरता कहुँ सुंदर करई। छबिगृहँ दीपसिखा जनु बरई॥ सब उपमा कबि रहे जुठारी। केहिं पटतरौं बिदेहकुमारी॥ ४ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

suṃdaratā kahuṃ suṃdara karī। chabigṛhaṃ dīpasikhā janu barī॥ saba upamā kabi rahe juṭhārī। kehiṃ paṭatarauṃ videhakumārī॥ 4 ॥

Meaning

That beauty of Sita's is itself beautifying beauty; it seems as though a lamp-flame were burning in the house of beauty. The poets have already left all comparisons stale and exhausted. To what can I compare the daughter of Videha, Sita?
