3.239
atha śobhā-
śobhā svabhāva-prākaṭyaṃ yūnor anyonyam ucyate ||
Now, beauty (śobhā):
Beauty is called the manifestation of their mutual nature by two young lovers.
3.239.p1
yathā ratnāvalyāṃ, sāgarikā (rājānaṃ dṛṣṭvā saharṣaṃ sa-sādhvasaṃ sa-kampaṃ ca svagatam)-eṇaṃ pekkhia adisaddhaseṇa ṇa sakkaṇomi padādo padaṃ bi gantuṃ | tā kiṃ vā ettha karissaṃ ? [enaṃ prekṣya atisādhvasena na śaknomi padāt padam api gantum | tat kiṃ vā atra kariṣyāmi ?]
As in the Ratnāvalī, Sāgarikā (seeing the King, with joy, fear, and trembling, aside): "Seeing him, out of great fear I am unable even to move step by step. So what indeed shall I do here?"
3.239.p2
vidūṣakaḥ (sāgarikāṃ dṛṣṭvā)-aho accariaṃ | īrisaṃ kaṇṇāraaṇaṃ māṇusaloe ṇa dīsadi | bho baassa taha takkemi paāvaiṇobi edaṃ ṇimmābia puṇo puṇo bihmao saṃbutto tti | [aho āścaryam | īdṛśaṃ kanyā-ratnaṃ mānusa-loke na dṛśyate | bho vayasya tasmāt tarkayāmi prajāpater api idaṃ nirmāya punaḥ punar vismayaḥ saṃvṛtta iti |]
The clown (seeing Sāgarikā): "Oh, wonderful! Such a jewel of a maiden is not seen in the mortal world. Friend, therefore I reckon that even the Creator, having fashioned this, felt wonder again and again!"
3.239.p3
rājā-sakhe mamāpy etad eva manasi vartate [2.15 padyāt pūrvam] ity ādinā sāgarikā-vatsarājayor anyonya-nirvarṇanena rūpātiśaya-prakaṭanaṃ śobhā |
The King: "Friend, this very thought is in my mind as well" [before verse 2.15], and so forth: the manifestation of superior beauty through the mutual contemplation of Sāgarikā and the King of Vatsa is beauty (śobhā).
