Adipuranam, on her cheek, like the fruit of the Priyangu, I had written many letters. But that subject is not shown in this picture. ||13|| Surely, this skill of the hand belongs only to the being of Swayamprabha, for such skill in the art of painting cannot be found in any other woman. ||135|| Thus reasoning, he, the prince, was troubled, like one in distress, with a heart devoid of peace and eyes closed, for a moment. ||136|| Tears were flowing from his eyes, he was about to reach the state of death, when, by divine grace, his friend, like a fainting woman, came and held him, that is, he fainted. ||137|| Seeing his state, not only I was filled with sorrow, but the hearts of the figures in the painting also became moist. ||138|| Then, the attendants, with many remedies, brought him back to consciousness, but his mind was fixed on you. All directions seemed to him to be filled with you. ||139|| After a short while, when he regained consciousness, he asked me, "O noble one, who has written these deeds of my past life in this picture?" ||140|| I replied, "Your maternal aunt has a daughter named Shrimati, she is the one and only heroine of the creation of women, she is the most beautiful among women and is fit for marriage, she is unmarried." ||141|| O prince, consider her as the banner of Kamadeva, adorned with bright clothes, or as the final line of creation, adorned with the sweetness of the creation of women, that is, there can be no creation of women more beautiful than her. ||142|| Her long glances are like the threads that indicate the beginning of full youth. It is by such glances that Kamadeva praises the skill of his arrows, that is, by looking at her long glances, it is known that her body has reached the beginning of full youth, and Kamadeva, who praises the skill of his arrows, does so on the strength of her glances. ||143|| The moon in the form of her face always shines with the bright rays of the teeth, like the lotus that desires to be united with the water of the ocean. ||144||
