1.1.36

dara-vidalita-mallī-valli-cañcat-parāga-prakaṭita-paṭa-vāsair vāsayan kānanāni |
iha hi dahati cetaḥ ketakī-gandha-bandhuḥ prasarad-asama-bāṇa-prāṇavad gandhavāhaḥ ||

Yet the winds that sigh so
As they stir the rose,
Wake a sigh from Krishna
Wistfuller than those;
All their faint breaths swinging
The creepers to and fro
Pass like rustling arrows
Shot from Kama's bow:
Thus among the dancers
What those zephyrs bring
Strikes to Krishna's spirit
Like a darted sting.

Edwin Arnold 1875, The Indian Song of Songs
