bhūṣana basana samaya sama sōbhā sō bhalī.
suṣamā bēli navala janu rūpa phalani phalī. 125.
kahahu kāhi paṭatariya gauri guna rūpahi.
sindhu kahiya kēhi bhām̐ti sarisa sara kūpahi. 126.


125-126. Magnificent ornaments and garments befitting the occasion looked very
charming on the bride’s body as if a new creeper (symbolizing the bride) of majestic
beauty has been liberally endowed with fruits and flowers (symbolizing the ornaments
and clothes) that covered it from one end to another. (125)
Say, with whom can one compare the beauty, charm and glamour as well as
the virtues and good characters of Gauri (Parvati)? How can one call the ocean as
being equivalent (or comparable) to a river, a pond, lake or a well? [Here, the ocean
represents the beauty of the bride, and all other comparisons to her to the
inconsequential water bodies such as ponds and lakes.]^1 (126)

Doha no. 100.]

āvata umahi bilōki sīsa sura nāvahiṁ.
bhava kṛtāratha janama jāni sukha pāvahiṁ. 127.
bipra bēda dhuni karahiṁ subhāsiṣa kahi kahi.
gāna nisāna sumana jhari avasara lahi lahi. 128.


127-128. When the Gods saw that Uma (Parvati) was coming to the venue, they
bowed their heads (in reverence); they considered themselves and their birth as being
most lucky, successful and fortunate.^1 (127)
The Brahmins chanted the hymns of the Vedas and blessed the couple^2. There
are felicitous songs and sounding of the musical drums as well as showering of
flowers every other moment^3. (128)
