Description
The song is not symbolic — it is directly about real apsarās described in Jain texts, who come to the temple to celebrate a divine event. It expresses joy, devotion, and spiritual excitement, painting a vivid image of heavenly beings filling the mandir with their presence.
Lyrics
Ambar-talni kalhansini
Poonam-chaandni nhaai
Sone sajeli roope khacheli
Ratnaprabha tanu chhaai...
Hee... Ramani kamni vaasu-damni
Veni shikha lahraai...
Hee... Yauvan-veejli gagan prajli
Srushti nikhil chamkaai...
Apsara aai, Prabhu-pooja man bhaai
Angi rachaai, ajab dhoon machaai
Geeti gaai, nootan naach nachaai
Apsara aai, Prabhu-pooja man bhaai
Abhiraam surat sohni, madan-mohni, kusum shangaar
Gajaraaj alas-gaamini, tej daamini, adhik roop-bhaar
Madamatt jhalak aaruni, chhalak vaaruni, nayan talvaar
Bhakti-rasni umti laali, shobha kaai niraali
Jaane marichi muktaamaali, poojanartham chaali
Hee... Ramani kamni vaasudamni
Veni shikha lahraai...
Hee... Yauvan-veejli gagan prajli
Srushti nikhil chamkaai...
Apsara aai, Prabhu-pooja man bhaai
Angi rachaai, ajab dhoon machaai
Geeti gaai, nootan naach nachaai
Apsara aai, Prabhu-pooja man bhaai
