And her lower feet were painted with the paint of saffron matching her own beauty; and the painting was also done on the pair of thick jar-like breasts. (140)
And her lotus-like face was decorated with the sandal-pigment mixed with black-sandal. Her lower lip was made attractive (pun-with the god of love ) and coloured ( pun-with passion ) like the lover. ( 141 )
The pair of her eyes, beautiful with the colour and beauty of a petal of a blooming lotus in the fresh autumnal time, was coloured with collyrium though lustrous. (142)
The fine saffron-mark bloomed on her face surrounded by the tresses-resembling the clusters of beescombed over it, like the stately Tilaka-tree, surrounded by the cluster of bees on its upper branches, blooming on the face of the Splendour of the Spring. (143)
[ 71 ] And her beautiful jewelled anklets tied to her feet brought out the royal swans sporting in her palace-tank by sweet jingle. (144)
And her fingers were decorated with jewelled rings, the added beauty of which was derived from the jewels encircled with the rays of the moon-like nails. ( 145 )
Her waist-band of pellucid gems, (as it were) the fine musical insrument of the festival of amours, was tied on her high (lit. inaccessible ) expanse of hips (pun-on a highmound) like the heart of a lover. ( 146 )
The jewelled strings on the arms were tied on the part near the arm-pits, (like) the thieves of human hearts and like the snares of the god of love. ( 147 )
