tvayy āyattaṃ kṛṣiphalam iti bhrūvilāsānabhijñaiḥ prītisnigdhair janapadavadhūlocanaiḥ pīyamānaḥ

On thee depends the fruitfulness of the soil! With these thoughts, imbibed from the eyes of the country women, who are unacquainted with the play of the eye-brows, and which are moist with affection, ascend, when you have reached the fields of Māla, that smell sweet, having been newly turned up by the plough, a little to the West, with a light movement, and from thence bearing to the Northward.

Henry Aimé Ouvry 1868, The Megha Dūta, or Cloud Messenger
