When this friend of lovers, youth, departs—like wealth to a gullible man— / during the blooming time of the creeper of play, the sun to the lotus-pool of passion, / the garden of pride, the Kārttika of moonlight to the hare-marked moon of the face, / the fortune of courtesans suddenly falls into utter misery. (122)
