2.412
ko doṣo maṇi-mālikā yadi bhavet kaṇṭhe na kiṃ śaṅkaro
dhatte bhūṣaṇam ardha-candram amalaṃ candre na kiṃ kālimā |
tat sādhv eva kṛtaṃ kṛtaṃ bhaṇitibhir naivāparāddhaṃ tvayā
bhāgyaṃ draṣṭum anīśayaiva bhavataḥ kāntāparāddhaṃ mayā ||
"What fault is it if there is a pearl necklace on your neck? Does Śaṅkara not
wear the crescent moon, spotless, as an ornament? And is there not blackness on the moon?
Therefore, you did very well indeed! Enough with words, you committed no offense at all;
unable to endure looking upon your good fortune, my beloved, it is I who have offended!"

atra maṇi-mālikādi-lakṣaṇa-madana-mudrānumiti-priyāparādha-janiterṣyā-sambhūto mānaḥ tat sādhv eva kṛtam ity ādibhir viparīta-lakṣaṇoktibhir vyajyate |
Here, pique arising from the jealousy produced by the inference of the beloved's transgression—characterized by the love-token of the pearl necklace and the like—is manifested through ironic statements such as, "Therefore, you did very well indeed!"
