2Shyāma mukha chhavi lakhi gai balihāra.

3lakhatahiṁ banata sakhī mukha chhavi jaba, haṁsata shyāma sarakāra.

4dādima bīja sarisa dashanana duti, damakani shveta nihāra.

5so duti adhara aruṇimā te mili, shvetāruṇa raṅgadhāra.

6puni shvetāruṇa raṅga meṁ tanu raṅga, nīlo mili ika sāra.

7lakhi ‘Kṛipālu’ mukha raṅga triveṇī, vidhi hari hara manahāra.

8One sakhi says to another, I have completely surrendered myself for-

9ever since I beheld Shyāmasundara’s beautiful face. When He laughs

10His ineffable beauty is multiplied a hundred times. His teeth that look

11like shining ripe pomegranate seeds are dazzling white. When the white

12radiance of His teeth mingles with the redness of His lips, it appears to

13be reddish white. And when the blue complexion of His face also

14combines with these two, even Vishnu and Shiva surrender themselves

15seeing this wonderful Triveṇī (confluence of three; the whiteness of His

16teeth—(Ganga), the redness of His lips—(Saraswati), and the bluishness

17of His face (Yamuna).
