1.4.5

vahati ca calita-vilocana-jaladhāram ānana-kamalam udāram |
vidhum iva vikaṭa-vidhuntuda-danta-dalana-galitāmṛta-dhāram ||

But now her lovely face is shadowed by her fears;
Her glorious eyes are veiled and dim like moonlight in eclipse
By breaking rain-clouds, Krishna! yet she paints you in her tears
With tender thoughts--not Krishna, but brow and breast and lips
And form and mien a King, a great and godlike thing;
And then with bended head she asks grace from the Love Divine,
To keep thee discontented with the phantoms thou forswearest,
Till she may win her glory, and thou be raised to thine.

Edwin Arnold 1875, The Indian Song of Songs
