Arjunopākhyāna Context
Devanagari script
प्रीतिप्रसन्नवदनः सबलस्तु दानी धीरो ऽपि विस्मयमवाप भृशं तदानीम् / गच्छन्सुरस्त्रीनयना लियूथपानैकपात्रोचितचारुमूर्त्तिः
Transliteration
prītiprasannavadanaḥ sabalastu dānī dhīro 'pi vismayamavāpa bhṛśaṃ tadānīm / gacchansurastrīnayanā liyūthapānaikapātrocitacārumūrttiḥ
Translation
সেই সময় দানশীল ও বলবান রাজা, প্রীতিতে প্রসন্ন মুখ নিয়েও, গভীর বিস্ময়ে অভিভূত হলেন। চলতে চলতে তাঁর মনোহর মূর্তি এমন ছিল যেন দেবাঙ্গনাদের দৃষ্টি তাঁর গায়ে লেগে আছে—মধুপানের একমাত্র পাত্রের যোগ্য রূপ।
