vyathayati våthä maunaà tanvi prapaïcaya païcamaà taruëi madhuräläpais täpaà vinodaya dåñöibhiù sumukhi vimukhé-bhävaà tävad vimuïca na muïca mäà svayam atiçaya-snigdho mugdhe priyo ’yam upasthitaù Translation “O slender woman, your futile adherence to silence is torturing me. O youthful one, sing out in the fifth musical mode. Deliver me from this torment with your sweet conversation and compassionate glance. O you whose countenance is comely, do not abandon me – abandon your indifference. O you who are bereft of proper discrimination, your affectionate beloved is present before you.”
