It was like the sky, adorned with stars and a rainbow. **(27)** His face, with its sweet breath, was like a blooming lotus, fragrant and beautiful. **(128)** His nose, as if meant to smell the fragrance of the face-lotus, was long and graceful. The two nostrils, facing downwards, seemed to drink the nectar of the face. **(129)** His neck, adorned with a garland of pearls, was like a beautiful creeper, holding the face-lotus. **(130)** His broad chest, adorned with precious jewels, shone like the dwelling of Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, illuminated by lamps. **(131)** His shoulders, raised high, were like the tusks of an elephant, signifying his noble character.
