Shatakatraya 2.34

2.34

diśa vana-hariṇībhyo vaṃśa-kāṇḍa-cchavīnāṃ
kavalam upala-koṭi-cchinna-mūlaṃ kuśānām |
śaka-yuvati-kapolāpāṇḍutāmbūla-vallīdalam
aruṇa-nakhāgraiḥ pāṭitaṃ vā vadhūbhyaḥ ||

Offer to the forest does a mouthful of kuśa grass, / green as a bamboo shoot, its roots cut with the sharp edge of a stone; / or to young women the leaf of the betel vine, pale as the cheek of a Śaka maiden, / torn with the tips of red fingernails.
