741. With great difficulty, His third eye which flashed forth the fire-flame, could open out (fa€55) fully. There was pressure of the fire-flames on the eye-lids from inside and at the same time, the angry frowns, knitting (fast) the eye-brows, pressed (Hf9fs3T) the eye-lids from outside.
742-744. Three Gāthās ( 742 to 744 ) form one sentence. The gallant King whose neck is encircled by the tender arms of fair women, on whom Cupid, although burnt and body-less, solely depends, has now taken up the summer dress (fur3TENT8).

Like Lord Krsna, who disappeared from the sight of Gopis on the moon-lit sands of Yamunā, this King was being searched ( THE ) with eager, longing eyes rushing forth (Telfast) to meet him with tears of joy, looking as if the eyes have stretched out (ata) their hands' in their ( ladies') haste to embrace (of 7) him.

The stomach is so crystal-clear (fe ) and transparent that the hair-ends of the braid on the back are seen (ata) reflected in front on it (the belly) !
751. The smile, mingled (Buface with the pink lustre of the lips, is comparable to the newly-risen pinkish moon, the spot on him corresponding with a swarm of bees, gathered because of the fragrance of their mouth-breaths. Cf. BETPLOFFİ TETRACT
