स्त्रीणां विहाय वदनेषु शशाङ्कलष्मीं
काम्यं च हंसवचनं मणिनूपुरेषु
बन्धूककान्तिमधरेषु मनोहरेषु
क्वापि प्रयाति सुभगा शरदागमश्रीः
Leaving the splendour of the moon in women’s faces,
The irresistable call of the swan in their jewelled anklets
And the beauty of the bandhuka tree in their entrancing lower lips
Autumn’s beautiful radiance passes elsewhere.
Verse 25, third sarga, Ritusamhara – Kalidasa
