This precious balsam sweet of scent.

O Maithil dame, this gift of mine

Shall make thy limbs with beauty shine,

And breathing o'er thy frame dispense

Its pure and lasting influence.

This balsam on thy fair limbs spread

New radiance on thy lord shall shed,

As Lakshmí's beauty lends a grace

To Vishṇu's own celestial face.”

Then Sítá took the gift the dame
