In her body is the fire of the fever of Anaṅga; in her eye, the mark of meditation; / life is in her throat; her cheek rests long on the sprout of her hand; / the lute is on her shoulder; sandalwood on the slope of her breasts; silence in her speech; / everything of hers has taken its stand thus—yet her mind, without you, rests nowhere at all.
