1.20.6

kumārīṇāṃ tāsāṃ aghajiti patiḥ syād iti rucir
yadā jātā tarhi pratipadam upāyākṛta-dhiyām |
vidhu-śrīṇāṃ śaśvad bata bahula-pakṣa-sthiti-juṣāṃ
tamaskṛd-viśvasminn ahaha kṛśatā nityam ajani || [śikhariṇī]

When the desire arose among those maidens that the conqueror of Agha should become their husband, / their minds, having found no means at every step, / like lunar splendors that continually reside in the dark fortnight, / alas, ever developed emaciation amid a universe plunged into darkness!
