Illumined by the glitter of gems on a pearl necklace, a shimmering golden bell-girdle, armlets, and bracelets, / having seen Hari at the door of the dwelling in the arbor, this confidante then spoke to the bashful maiden:

So came she where he stood, awaiting her
At the bower's entry, like a god to see,
With marriage-gladness and the grace of heaven.
The great pearl set upon his glorious head
Shone like a moon among the leaves, and shone
Like stars the gems that kept her gold gown close:
But still a little while she paused--abashed
At her delight, of her deep joy afraid--
And they that tended her sang once more this:
