4.5

kṣaumaṃ kenacid indupāṇḍu taruṇā māṅgalyam āviṣkṛtam
niṣṭhyūtaś caraṇopabhogasulabho lākṣārasaḥ kenacit /
anyebhyo vanadevatākaratalair āparvabhogotthitair
dattāny ābharaṇāni tatkisalayodbhedapratidvandvibhiḥ //

One tree bore fruit, a silken marriage dress
That shamed the moon in its white loveliness;
Another gave us lac-dye for the feet;
From others, fairy hands extended, sweet
Like flowering twigs, as far as to the wrist,
And gave us gems, to adorn her as we list.
