Rāg/Rāganī Toḍī |
|
| Chaupai The Almight has made a wondrous creature in Todi. He appears to have spared no charm and grace in this act. Holding the nectar [vessel] in her hands, she stands in a garden, and the world around her is filled with deep love. Hearing the enchanting sounds of Todi, herds of deer lose their way. The beauty of Todi is so enchanting that eyes drop after a glance at her. Nearby is a pond of clear, sweet water, sacred as Gangajal. Taking her to be his own, Sarang extends his hands and beckons her to his side. |
| Doha The lover always dwells inside her eyelids, but the lover has become an ascetic in his heart. Her mind is as confused as the deer, and she stands still in one spot in the garden. |
Translation, Kaufmann 1968, 550. |
