Hearing the tinkling of bangles, the small bells tied round the waist and the anklets Ýr¶ RŒma thought within Himself and then said to Lakƒma˜a, “It seems as if Cupid has sounded his kettledrum with intent to conquer the universe.” So saying, He looked once again in the same direction (whence the sound came); and lo ! His eyes feasted themselves on S¶tŒ’s countenance even as the Cakora bird gazes on the moon. His charming eyes became motionless, as if Nimi winking) had left the eyelids out of shyness. Ýr¶ RŒma was filled with rapture to behold S¶tŒ’s beauty; He admired it in His heart, but utterance failed Him. He felt as if the Creator had put his whole creative skill in visible form and demonstrated it to the world at large. “She lends charm to charm itself,” He said to Himself, “and looks as if a flame of light is burning in a house of beauty. The similes already employed by the poets are all stale and hackneyed; to whom shall I liken the daughter of Videha?” (1—4)
