3.256
jagati jayinas te te bhāvā navendu-kalādayaḥ
prakṛti-madhurāḥ santy evānye mano madayanti ye |
mama tu yad iyaṃ yātā loke vilocana-candrikā
nayana-viṣayaṃ janmany ekaḥ sa eva mahotsavaḥ ||
“In this world there are various captivating entities, such as the crescent of the new moon, / naturally sweet, which indeed exhilarate the mind; / but that this moonlight of the eyes has come within the range / of my vision in this world, that alone is the one supreme festival in life.”

ity atra indukalādīn mano-mada-hetutayā prasiddhān uktvā tat-samāna-mādhuryāyām api mālatyāṃ viśeṣa-kathanād idaṃ viśeṣaṇam |
Here, after mentioning the crescent moon and others that are celebrated as causes of delighting the mind, a special distinction is stated in Mālatī even though she possesses equal sweetness; hence this is viśeṣaṇa.
