Lalī-drig chhavi lakhi kavi bharamāye.
The greatest of poets are baffled and at a loss for words after seeing Kishori Ji's eyes.
Nayan kamal kahaṁ kamal-nayan kah, ulaṭī chāl chalāye.
Lotuses have some of the beauty of Her eyes. How can Her eyes be compared to lotuses? That is stating things in reverse.
Āghūrṇit-pakṣhmal-apāṇg duti, shvet-aruṇ darasāye.
The whites of Her eyes and the reddishness in their corners, can be seen beneath Her partially closed eyelids, lavishly endowed with long, curly eyelashes.
Chanchal-indranīl-golāmal, shyāmal-tārā bhāye.
The dark pupils of Her eyes appear to be, by their restlessness, the residence of the sapphire-complexioned, restless Shyāmasundar.
Mrig chakor-drig kamal-sār-ras, yantra nimeṣh khiṁchāye.
Kishori Ji's eyes have drawn the essence of a deer's eyes in terms of their innocence and gentle beauty, the lotus in terms of its shape and reddish hue and the chakor in terms of its exclusive devotion, using the instrument of the eyelids.
Soi piyūṣh-udgār samanvit, sār sunain suhāye.
The essence of nectar has been combined with these three to form Kishori Ji's eyes.
Ati chanchal dou nain pṛiṣhṭh sir, kabahūṁ nahiṁ mili pāye.
It is surprising that these two restless eyes, always moving to and fro, have not met at the back of Kishori Ji's head.
Lakhi ‘Kripalu’ śhruti-koop-patan-bhay. Manahuṁ manahiṁ ḍarapāye.
Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj humourously remarks, "It is possible they became fearful of falling into the well of the ears, and so went no further."
