yathā-
lākṣāṃ vidhātum avalambita-mātram eva
sakhyāḥ kareṇa taruṇāmbuja-komalena |
kasyāścid agra-padam āśu babhūva raktaṃ
lākṣā-rasaḥ punar abhūn na tu bhūṣaṇāya ||
For example:
"No sooner was the forepart of a certain maiden's foot taken / by the hand of her female confidante, tender as a young lotus, in order to apply red lacquer, / than it instantly turned red; / the red lacquer dye, however, did not serve to adorn it."
