Oh, what another beautiful sight! The wild 'chanothdi' seed displays a rich vermilion red color.
This couplet vividly paints a picture of the 'chanothdi' seed, known as 'gunja' or 'ratti' in Hindi, found in the wilderness. It proclaims, "Oh, the second beautiful one, is the vermilion-filled reddish color of the forest's 'chanothdi'." The reference to 'hingol,' or cinnabar-red vermilion, highlights the striking, deep red hue of these tiny seeds. Historically used in traditional jewelry and as ancient units of weight, these seeds are famously bright red with a black spot. The line beautifully captures a specific, intense shade of natural beauty found deep in the forest.
