2.9
citre niveśye parikalpitasattvayogā
rūpoccayena manasā vidhinā kṛtā nu /
strīratnasṛṣṭir aparā pratibhāti sā me
dhātur vibhutvam anucintya vapuś ca tasyāḥ //
vidu yady evaṃ pratyādeśa idānīṃ rūpavatīnām /
She is God's vision, of pure thought
Composed in His creative mind;
His reveries of beauty wrought
The peerless pearl of womankind.
So plays my fancy when I see
How great is God, how lovely she.
Clown. How the women must hate her!
