{jagati jayinaste te bhāvā navendukalādayaḥ
prakṛtimadhurāḥ santyevānye mano madayanti ye /
mama tu yadiyaṃ yātā loke vilocanacandrikā
nayanaviṣayaṃ janmanyekaḥ sa eva mahotsavaḥ //257//}
(Bhavabhūti's Mālatīmādhava 1.36)

“There certainly exist in the world those prevailing entities, the digits of the new moon and the like,
naturally sweet, which intoxicate the mind;
for me, however, if this moonlight for the eyes in this world has come
within the range of my vision, that alone is the one great festival in my life.”
