The Four-armed Flatterer

Scene Nineteen : Song 19 : Verse 2

vadasi yadi kiïcid api danta-ruci-kaumudé harati dara-timiram ati-ghoram sphurad-adhara-sédhave tava vadana-candramä rocayatu locana-cakoram priye! cäruçéle! muïca mayi mänam anidänaà sapadi madanänalo dahati mama mänasaà dehi mukha-kamala-madhu-pänam Translation “My beloved, O graceful one, give up this causeless aversion. If you will speak to me, even a little, the terrible darkness of my fear will be dispelled by the effulgent rays of your teeth. Then your moonlike face will make the cakora bird of my eyes anxious to drink the nectar of your lips. The fire of amorous desire is burning my heart. Allow me to drink the honey of your lotus face.”
