Those who see, even for an instant, with undivided mind,
this heaven covered by a mass of vermilion dust from your radiance,
and this earth as if submerged under a spread of melted lac juice—
to them, women whose eyes resemble frightened fawns,
languishing with the fever of the bodiless god of love, surely become submissive.
