sarasijam anuviddhaṃ śavalenāpi ramyaṃ
malinam api himāṃśor lakṣma lakṣmīṃ tanoti |
ityam adhika-manojñā balkalenāpi tanvī
kim iva hi madhurāṇāṃ maṇḍanaṃ nākṛtīnām ||
"A lotus intertwined even with moss is lovely; / the spot on the cool-rayed moon, though dark, extends its charm; / this slender maiden is yet more enchanting even in bark garments; / for what indeed is not an ornament to graceful forms?"
