The Hundred Verses of Amaru 1.235

1.235

aṅgānāmatitānavaṃ kathamidaṃ kampaśca kasmātkuto
mugdhe pāṇḍukapolamānanamiti prāṇeśvare pṛcchati |
tanvyā sarvamidaṃ svabhāvajamiti vyāhṛtya pakṣmāntara
vyāpī bāṣpabharastayā calitayā niḥśvasya mukto'nyataḥ ||45||(50)

"Why this extreme thinness of your limbs? And whence the trembling? / Why, innocent maiden, is your face with pale cheeks?" When her life's lord asked thus, / the slender girl said, "All this is born of my very nature," / and turning aside with a sigh, she let loose the weight of tears that filled her eyelashes. ||45||(50)
