Sanskrit Original
केकि कंठ दुति स्यामल अंगा। तड़ित बिनिंदक बसन सुरंगा।। ब्याह बिभूषन बिबिध बनाए। मंगल सब सब भाँति सुहाए।। सरद बिमल बिधु बदनु सुहावन। नयन नवल राजीव लजावन।। सकल अलौकिक सुंदरताई। कहि न जाइ मनहीं मन भाई।। बंधु मनोहर सोहहिं संगा। जात नचावत चपल तुरंगा।। राजकुअँर बर बाजि देखावहिं। बंस प्रसंसक बिरिद सुनावहिं।। जेहि तुरंग पर रामु बिराजे। गति बिलोकि खगनायकु लाजे।। कहि न जाइ सब भाँति सुहावा। बाजि बेषु जनु काम बनावा।।

His swarthy form possessed the glow of a peacock's neck, while His bright yellow raiment outshone the lightning. Wedding ornaments of every kind, all auspicious and graceful in everyway, adorned His person. His countenance was as delightful as the moon in a cloudless autumnal night; while His eyes put to shame a blooming pair of lotuses. The elegance of His form was transcendent in all its details; though captivating the soul, it defied description. Beside Him shone forth His lovely brothers, who rode curveting their restive steed. The other princes too displayed the pace of their horses and the family bards recited the glories of their line. Even the king of birds, Garuda, blushed for shame to note the speed of the steed that Rama bestrode; it was charming beyond description in everyway; it seemed as though Cupid himself had taken the form of horse.
