A WOMAN’S BEAUTY
Reading edition
Round the black eyes are eyebrows looking like a bow, They are not frightened at all, and they shoot their arrows with certainty. Seeing the precious ear-rings with pearls and beautiful settings, Even the moon with all the stars is filled with shame. I cannot describe the beauty of the lips, cheeks, teeth, and nose, Even Śesh Nāg,[17] seeing the beautiful hair, sighs deeply. Śrī Sarasvatī Devī. Tr. Mrs. Keay.
