sānanda-gadgada-padam hariḥ iti uvāca //
Meanwhile, approaching the fair-faced one who was subject to a soft anger,
her face overcome by boundless sighs,
who bashfully looked toward her confidante's face, Hari spoke at day's end,
with words faltering with joy:
2.10.2
vadasi yadi kiṃcit api danta-ruci-kaumudī

sapadi madana-analaḥ dahati mama mānasam
dehi mukha-kamala-madhu-pānam //
If you speak even a little, the moonlight of the radiance of your teeth
dispels the terrible darkness of fear;
let the cakora-bird of my eyes delight
in the moon of your face for the nectar of your trembling lips!
O beloved of charming nature, abandon your groundless pride toward me!
At once the fire of Madana burns my heart;
grant me the drink of the honey from your lotus mouth!

O beloved of charming nature, abandon your groundless pride toward me!
At once the fire of Madana burns my heart;
grant me the drink of the honey from your lotus mouth!

parihara kṛta-ātaṅke śaṅkām tvayā satatam ghana-
stana-jaghanayā ākrānte svānte para-anavakāśini /

stana-bhara-parīrambha-ārambhe vidhehi vidheyatām //
Cast off your fear, O anxious woman! In my heart, continually occupied by you
with your full breasts and hips, leaving room for no other,
no fortunate other enters, save for the Bodiless One;
yield compliance to the beginning of the embrace of the fullness of your breasts!
2.10.11
mugdhe vidhehi mayi nirdaya-danta-daṃśa-
doḥ-valli-bandha-nibiḍa-stana-pīḍanāni /
caṇḍi tvam eva mudam añca na pañcabāṇa-
caṇḍāla-kāṇḍa-dalanāt asavaḥ prayāntu //
O innocent woman, inflict upon me merciless biting of teeth,
the binding of the creepers of your arms, and the tight pressing of your breasts!
O fierce woman, you yourself take delight; do not let my breaths depart
from being shattered by the outcaste arrows of the five-arrowed god!
2.10.12
vyathayati vṛthā maunam tanvi prapañcaya pañcamam
taruṇi madhura-ālāpaiḥ tāpam vinodaya dṛṣṭibhiḥ /
sumukhi vimukhī-bhāvam tāvat vimuñca na muñca mām
svayam atiśaya-snigdhaḥ mugdhe priyaḥ aham upasthitaḥ //
Your silence pains me in vain, O slender one: utter the fifth note;
O youthful woman, dispel my burning heat with sweet conversation and with glances!
O fair-faced one, abandon your aversion, do not abandon me;
I, your beloved, exceedingly affectionate, have arrived in person, O innocent one!
2.10.13
bandhūka-dyuti-bāndhavaḥ ayam adharaḥ snigdhaḥ madhūka-chaviḥ
gaṇḍaḥ caṇḍi cakāsti nīla-nalina-śrī-mocanam locanam /
nāsā abhyeti tila-prasūna-padavīm kunda-ābha-danti priye
prāyaḥ tvat-mukha-sevayā vijayate viśvam saḥ puṣpāyudhaḥ //
This lower lip has kinship with the radiance of the bandhūka flower; the smooth cheek shines with the luster of the madhūka blossom, O passionate girl; / the eye steals away the loveliness of the blue lotus; the nose approaches the realm of the sesamum bloom, O you whose teeth gleam like jasmine blossoms, my love; / surely by serving your face, that flower-weaponed god conquers the universe.
2.10.14
dṛśau tava mada-ālase vadanam indu-saṃdīpakam
gatiḥ jana-manoramā vidhuta-rambham ūru-dvayam /
ratiḥ tava kalāvatī rucira-citra-lekhe bhruvau
aho vibudha-yauvatam vahasi tanvi pṛthvī-gatā //
Your eyes are languid with intoxication, your face illuminates the moon, / your gait captivates the minds of all, your two thighs outdo plantain stems, / your amorous pleasure is endowed with arts, and your brows are radiant, lovely lines: / ah, slender one, though on earth, you bear the beauty of divine maidens!
