Chhand Text
बापीं तड़ाग अनूप कूप मनोहरायत सोहहीं। सोपान सुंदर नीर निर्मल देखि सुर मुनि मोहहीं॥ बहु रंग कंज अनेक खग कूजहिं मधुप गुंजारहीं। आराम रम्य पिकादि खग रव जनु पथिक हंकारहीं॥
Transliteration (IAST)
bāpīṃ taḍāga anūpa kūpa manoharāyata sohahīṃ। sopāna sundara nīra nirmala dekhi sura muni mohahīṃ॥ bahu raṃga kaṃja aneka khaga kūjahim madhupa guṃjārahīṃ। ārāma ramya pikādi khaga rava janu pathika haṃkārahīṃ॥
Meaning
Peerless wells, tanks, and ponds with beautiful, expansive surroundings shine there. Seeing their lovely steps and pure water, even gods and sages are charmed. In the tanks bloom lotuses of many colors; many birds sing, and bees hum. The lovely gardens, with cuckoos and other birds calling, seem to beckon passing travelers onward.
