Thumak chalat ramachandra, bajat painjniya ॥
Little Ramchandra is toddling along and the anklets on his feet are jingling.
Kilki kilki uthat dhay, girat bhumi lataptay ।
Dhay mat god let, dashrath ki raniyan ॥
Squealing with joy he runs, stumbles and falls to the ground; then Dashrath's queens run and lift him into their laps.
Anchal raj ang jhari, vividh bhanti so dulari ।
Tan man dhan vari vari, kahat mridu bachniya ॥
The mothers brush the dust off his body with their aanchal, cuddle him in many ways, offer him their body, mind and wealth, and speak sweet words.
Vidrum se arun adhar, bolat mukh madhur madhur ।
Subhag nasika men charu, latkat latakniya ॥
With lips red as coral he speaks sweetly, and a lovely little ornament hangs from his beautiful nose.
Tulasidas ati anand, dekh ke mukharvind ।
Raghuvar chhabi ke saman, raghuvar chhabi baniyan ॥
Seeing his lotus face, Tulsidas is filled with joy — the beauty of Raghuvar can be matched only by Raghuvar himself.
The paath of Thumak Chalat Ramachandra, Bajat Painjaniyan — Tulsidas is complete.
