जेहि समाज बैठे मुनि जाई । हृदयँ रूप अहमिति अधिकाई ॥
तहँ बैठ महेस गन दोऊ । बिप्र बेष गति लखइ न कोऊ ॥
jehi samāja baiṭhe muni jāī | hṛdayam̐ rūpa ahamiti adhikāī ||
taham̐ baiṭha mahesa gana doū | bipra beṣa gati lakhai na koū ||

Shiva's ganas mock Narada
Narada sat in a group, his heart swollen with pride in his looks, and the two ganas of Shiva sat right there in brahmin dress, unnoticed. Loud enough for him to hear, they jeered: Hari has given him fine beauty indeed; the princess will be charmed by it and choose him above all, taking him for Hari. Their laughter was full of delight, for the muni's mind was in another's hands. Narada heard their odd words but, his reason clouded, could not take their meaning. No one else saw that strange sight, but the princess did: a monkey's face on a frightful body, and anger rose in her at the sight. Then, with her companions, she moved like a royal swan, garland in her lotus hands, looking over the kings.
करहिँ कूटि नारदहि सुनाई । नीकि दीन्हि हरि सुन्दरताई ॥
रीझहि राजकुअँरि छवि देखी । इन्हहिँ बरिहि हरि जानि बिसेखी ॥
karahim̐ kūṭi nāradahi sunāī | nīki dīnhi hari sundaratāī ||
rījhahi rājakuam̐ri chavi dekhī | inhahim̐ barihi hari jāni bisekhī ||
मुनिहि मोह मन हाथ पराये । हँसहिँ सम्भु-गन अति सचु पाये ॥
जदपि सुनहिँ मुनि अटपटि बानी । समुझि न परइ बुद्धि भ्रम सानी ॥
munihi moha mana hātha parāye | ham̐sahim̐ sambhu-gana ati sacu pāye ||
jadapi sunahim̐ muni aṭapaṭi bānī | samujhi na parai buddhi bhrama sānī ||
काहु न लखा सो चरित बिसेखा । सो सरूप नृप कन्या देखा ॥
मर्कट बदन भयङ्कर देही । देखत हृदयँ क्रोध भा तेही ॥
kāhu na lakhā so carita bisekhā | so sarūpa nṛpa kanyā dekhā ||
markaṭa badana bhayaṅkara dehī | dekhata hṛdayam̐ krodha bhā tehī ||
सखीं सङ्ग लेइ कुअँरि तब, चलि जनु राजमराल ।
देखत फिरइ महीप सब, कर सरोज जयमाल ॥
sakhīṃ saṅga lei kuam̐ri taba, cali janu rājamarāla |
dekhata phirai mahīpa saba, kara saroja jayamāla ||
