Sanskrit Original
बैठारि आसन आरती करि निरखि बरु सुखु पावहीं।। मनि बसन भूषन भूरि वारहिं नारि मंगल गावहीं।। ब्रह्मादि सुरबर बिप्र बेष बनाइ कौतुक देखहीं। अवलोकि रघुकुल कमल रबि छबि सुफल जीवन लेखहीं।।
baiṭhāri āsana āratī kari nirakhi baru sukhu pāvahīṃ.. mani basana bhūṣana bhūri vārahiṃ nāri maṃgala gāvahīṃ.. brahmādi surabara bipra bēṣa banāi kautuka dēkhahīṃ. avalōki raghukula kamala rabi chabi suphala jīvana lēkhahīṃ..
When Rama was installed on the seat reserved for Him, lights were waved round Him and everyone rejoiced to behold the bridegroom, scattering about Him gems and raiments and ornaments in profusion; while women sang festal songs. Brahma and the other great gods witnessed the spectacle disguised as Brahmanas; and as they gazed on the beauty of Sri Rama, who delighted Raghu's race even as the sun brings joy to the lotuses, they regarded this privilege as the fulfilment of their life.
