tataś ca-
priyas tyāga-vrīḍād vidadhad iva tāṭasthyam abhitaḥ
sa tābhiḥ kāntābhis tvaritataram āsādi paritaḥ |
samudraḥ saṅkocaṃ samaya-kalitaṃ ced valayate
tadā nadyaḥ sadyaś capala-gatitāṃ sannidadhati || [śikhariṇī]

And then: / As the beloved seemed to assume neutrality on every side out of shame for having abandoned them, / he was surrounded all around with exceeding haste by those beloved maidens. / If the ocean maintains a shrinking brought on by the ebb tide, / the rivers straightway assume a swift course toward it. ||
