Chhand Text
संग्राम भूमि बिराज रघुपति अतुल बल कोसल धनी। श्रम बिंदु मुख राजीव लोचन अरुन तन सोनित कनी॥ भुज जुगल फेरत सर सरासन भालु कपि चहु दिसि बने। कह दास तुलसी कहि न सक छबि सेष जेहि आनन घने॥
Transliteration (IAST)
saṃgrāma bhūmi birāja raghupati atula bala kosala dhanī। śrama bindu mukha rājīva locana aruna tana sonita kanī॥ bhuja jugala ferata sara sarāsana bhālu kapi cahu disi bane। kaha dāsa tulasī kahi na saka chabi seṣa jehi ānana ghane॥
Meaning
On the battlefield shines Lord Raghupati, the ruler of Kosala, with incomparable strength. Beads of sweat glisten on His face; His lotus-like eyes are slightly reddened; specks of blood mark His body; and with both hands He moves the bow and arrows. Bears and monkeys adorn all four directions. Tulsidas says that even Shesha, with his many mouths, cannot describe such beauty.
