Basudhā Jāhnabā Debī Śobhā Bidhi Adhibāsa Bhūṣa Bhūṣita Tanu

Their forms decorated with ornaments for the adhivāsa, the goddesses Vasudhā and Jāhnavā shine with great splendor. They glisten with great beauty. They glisten like lightning, or kuṅkuma, or ketakī flowers.

From the four directions brahmanas offer blessing. With joyful hearts, they glance at the the two girls. They chant the Vedas. They speak words of blessing. With auspicious dūrvā grass they touch the two girls’ heads.

Although their feet peacefully rest upon the ground, the paṇḍitas’ wives find they cannot keep their hearts at all peaceful and still. The girls all offer auspicious blessings. “Ulu-lulu!”, they warble. How many desires fill their hearts?

Conchshells, bells, and a host of musical instruments sound. A tumult arises, a tumult without equal. Narahari dāsa says: How many demigoddesses came and, unnoticed by the others, with joyful hearts watched all of this?
