atha vyādhiḥ, sa yathā rasa-sudhākare (2.52)-
śayyā puṣpa-mayī parāga-mayatām aṅgārpaṇād aśnute
tāmyanty antika-tāla-vṛnta-nalinī-patrāṇi gātroṣmaṇā |
nyastaṃ ca stana-maṇḍale malayajaṃ śīrṇāntaraṃ lakṣyate
kvāthād āśu bhavanti phenila-mukhā bhūṣā-mṛṇālāṅkurāḥ //

Now, disease, as in the Rasasudhākara (2.52):
“Her bed made of flowers turns to powder merely from the touch of her limbs;
the lotus petals and palm-leaf fans near her wither from her body heat;
the sandalwood paste applied to her breasts is seen cracked and parched;
and the ornamental lotus stalks quickly foam at the tips from the scorching heat.”
