50 passagesमत्तेभ-कुम्भ-परिणाहिनि कुङ्कुमार्द्रे तस्याः पयोधर-युगे रति-खेद-खिन्नः । वक्षो निधाय भुज-पञ्जर-मध्य-वर्ती स्वप्स्ये कदा क्षणम् अवाप्य तदीय-सङ्गम् ॥
“When shall I, wearied by the fatigue of love, placing my chest upon her pair of breasts, broad like the temples of a maddened elephant and moistened with saffron, dwelling between the cage of her arms, obtain a moment of union with her and sleep?”
तथा च-
And likewise—
रागी बिम्बाधरो ऽसौ स्तन-कलश-युगं यौवनारूढ-गर्वं नीचा नाभिः प्रकृत्या कुटिलकम् अलकं स्वल्पकं चापि मध्यम् । कुर्वत्व् एतानि नाम प्रसभम् इह मनश् चिन्तितान्य् आशु खेदं यन् मां तस्याः कपोलौ दहत इति मुहुः स्वच्छकौ तन् न युक्तम् ॥
That bimba-like lower lip is red with passion; the pair of jar-like breasts has a pride mounted upon youth; the navel is naturally low; the lock of hair is slightly curled; and the waist too is very small. Granted, let these things, when thought of here, quickly and forcibly cause distress to the mind. But that her two clear, spotless cheeks should repeatedly burn me—that is not fitting.
रथकारो ऽप्य् एवं स-कामं तद्-वचनम् आकर्ण्य स-स्मितम् इदम् आह-वयस्य ! यद्य् एवं तर्हि दिष्ट्या सिद्धं नः प्रयोजनम् । तद् अद्यैव तया सह समागमः क्रियताम् इति ।
The chariot-maker too, having heard his words desirously, said this with a smile: “Friend, if this is so, fortunately our purpose has been accomplished. Therefore, let union with her be undertaken today itself.”
कौलिक आह-वयस्य, यत्र कन्यान्तःपुरे वायुं मुक्त्वा नान्यस्य प्रवेशो ऽस्ति तत्र रक्षा-पुरुषाधिष्ठिते कथं मम तस्या सह समागमः ? तत् किं माम् असत्य-वचनेन विडम्बयसि ?
Kaulika said: “Friend, where, in the inner apartments of the princess, there is no entry for anyone other than the wind, and the place is guarded by guards, how can I have an encounter with her? Then why are you deceiving me with false words?”
