The Hundred Verses of Amaru 1.55

1.55

urasi nihitastāro hāraḥ kṛtā jaghane ghane
kalakalavatī kāñcī pādau kvaṇanmaṇinūpurau |
priyamabhisarasyevaṃ mugdhe samāhataḍiṇḍimā
yadi kimadhikatrāsotkampaṃ diśaḥ samudīkṣase ||28||(31)

A radiant necklace is placed on your chest, on your plump hips / a jingling girdle is fastened, on your feet are ringing jewelled anklets; / thus you set out to meet your beloved, innocent girl, beating a drum as it were! / If so, why do you look about the directions, trembling with excessive fear? ||28
