{tvāmālikhya praṇayakupitāṃ dhāturāgaiḥ śilāyā-
mātmānaṃ te caraṇapatitaṃ yāvadicchāmi kartum /
asraistāvanmuhurupacitairdṛṣṭirālupyate me
krūrastasminnapi na sahate saṃgamaṃ nau kṛtāntaḥ //36//}
(Kālidāsa's Meghadūta, Uttaramegha 44)

“Having painted you with mineral pigments on a stone slab, angry in love,
just as I wish to depict myself fallen at your feet,
my sight is constantly obstructed by gathered tears;
cruel fate does not brook our union even there.” (Kālidāsa's Meghadūta, Uttaramegha 44)
