adreḥ śṛṅgaṃ harati pavanaḥ kiṃ svid ity unmukhībhir dṛṣṭotsāhaś cakitacakitaṃ mugdhasiddhāṅganābhiḥ
sthānād asmāt sarasaniculād utpatodaṅmukhaḥ khaṃ diṅnāgānāṃ pathi pariharan sthūlahastāvalepān //

What! does the Wind bear hither a mountain’s peak? Under these exclamations of the startled innocent wives of the Siddahs, as directing their gaze upward they behold thy effort, soar from this sweet Nichulas covered place towards the North in the sky, on thy road humiliating the mighty Trunk-pride of the Elephants which support the World.

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