Meaning
The time is auspicious. There is rejoicing everywhere – on the occasion of my friend’s wedding. Perfumed and adorned with sandal wood paste, the groom’s (Krishna) dazzling eyes are lined with kohl. Blissful rapture fills the air and the poet, Amar (composer), says that he is happy to be part of the proceedings.
