1.38

yuddhe yasya kumāra-dācaya-vibhoḥ khaḍgāgra-dhārā-jale
majjanti pratipakṣa-bhūmi-patayaḥ śauryoṣma-santāpitāḥ |
citraṃ tat-pramadāḥ pranaṣṭa-tilakā vyākīrṇa-nīlālakāḥ
prabhraśyat-kuca-kuṅkumāḥ parigalan-netrānta-kālāñjanāḥ ||

When opposing kings, scorched by the heat of valorous combat, / plunge into the water at the blade's edge of prince Dācaya's sword, / wondrous it is that their women have their tilakas erased, their dark curls scattered, / the saffron smeared on their breasts rubbed away, and the black collyrium washing from their eye-corners.
