________________ Gaüdavaho 1160. This young lady, (grown) languid in (the movement of) her waist, is troubled by her rounded breasts, become doubly heavy by the pulverised dust of her lover's (finger-) nail-tips, oftentimes broken, (as they ground gratingly against the hard surface of her breasts). 130 1161. The bevy of beloveds here looks pretty, lying asleep (numanna) obliquely (at an angle), with a hand thrown over hip (brought together) near the breast, as the belly is bent (and pressed) inside because of its thinness, thighs having been crossed (one over the other). 1162.

The sky, kissed by the moon's orb with its discoloured (black) deer (spot), staying suspended (lhasia) in its central region, looks like the (leather) top-covering (puda) of a tambour (daddura), with its slightly-split, puffy (viaḍa) circular coat (of black, inky stuff). 1168.
