Padmapurane
The married couple, desiring honey, were drinking the yellow liquid from each other's cups. They were making loud sounds, imitating the movements of the cuckoo bird. [144]
The handsome one, after embracing his beloved, drank the intoxicating liquid from the cup, his eyes blossoming. [145]
There was a slight trembling of the lips of those who were like the buds, having their natural redness washed away by the liquor. Their lips had an extraordinary charm. [146]
The honey in the cup, blended with the hues of the white, red and blue lotuses, appeared like a lake. [147]
The shameless women were revealing their secret regions and speaking words that should not be uttered. [148]
Cupid had ascended on the foundation of the moon, youth and liquor, and had made those women extremely shameless. [149]
The lovemaking, marked with scratches, sighs and the grasping of lips, seemed to be the auspicious rite preceding the upcoming battle. [150]
This Ravana, too, with his charming behavior, had brought the entire harem under his control. [151]
Mandodari, the large-eyed one, again and again embraced her lord and looked at his face, but could not be satisfied. [152]
She said, "O beloved, when you return victorious from there, I shall always embrace you. [153] O enchanting one, I shall not leave you even for a moment, but will cling to your entire body like a creeper." [154]
While Mandodari, her heart afflicted with love, was speaking thus, the rooster crowed and the night came to an end. [155]
Then, with the disappearance of the stars' brilliance and the arrival of the reddish dawn, the sound of singing was heard in every house. [156]
