को जान केहि आनंद बस सब ब्रह्मु बर परिछन चली। कल गान मधुर निसान बरषहिं सुमन सुर सोभा भली।। आनंदकंदु बिलोकि दूलहु सकल हियँ हरषित भई।। अंभोज अंबक अंबु उमगि सुअंग पुलकावलि छई।।

Who should recognize whom, when everyone in the gynaeceum proceeded in her ecstatic joy to join the ceremony of waving lights round the bridegroom, who was no other than the Supreme Spirit incarnate. Melodious songs were being sung and kettledrums gently sounded; the gods rained down flowers and everything looked most charming. All the women were delighted at heart to behold the bridegroom, who was the fountain of joy; tears of love rushed to their lotus-like eyes and the hair on their pretty limbs stood erect.
