2.6

śaśimaṇiśilā seyaṃ yasyāṃ vipāṇḍuramānanaṃ
karakisalaye kṛtvā vāme ghanaśvasitodgamā /
cirayati mayi vyaktākūtā manāk sphuritairbhruvo-
rviramitamanomanyurdṛṣṭā mayā rudatī priyā //

Jímútaváhana (sighing, with a tear).
It is well guessed. (Pointing to it with his hand.) This is that very moonstone seat on which I saw the loved one; her pale face reclined upon her left shoot-like hand, and her breast heaving with deep sobs. When I delayed to soothe her, her fit of anger passed away; and her slightly-quivering lip and burst of tears betrayed the real state of her feelings. We will sit therefore on this moonstone seat.

Palmer Boyd 1872, Nágánanda, or The Joy of the Snake-World
