सोभित कर नवनीत लिये

Graceful with Butter in Hand

The verses

  1. सोभित कर नवनीत लिये ॥ घुटुरुन चलत रेनु तनुमंडित मुख दधिलेप किये ॥

    Meaning: He looks so exquisite with fresh butter in his hand; Crawling on his knees, his body adorned with dust, his face smeared with curd.

  2. चारु कपोल लोल लोचन गोरोचन तिलक किये । लट लटकनि मनो मत्त मधुपगन मादक मदहि पिये॥

    Meaning: With lovely cheeks and restless eyes, adorned with a forehead mark of saffron bright, / The straying curls hang down like drunken bees, steeped deep in nectar's sweet delight.

  3. कठुला कंठवज्र केहरि नख राजत रुचिर हिये। धन्य सूर एको पल या सुख का सत कल्प जिये ॥

    Meaning: The tiger's claw and neck-charm gleam upon His lovely chest; blessed is even a moment of this joy over living a hundred eons.
