Transliteration

tatra baddha-manodṛṣṭir abhavat sā sumadhyamā | na cātapyata rūpeṇa bhānoḥ sandhyāgatasya sā ||

Translation

There, the slender-waisted lady became wholly absorbed—her mind and gaze fixed in one place. Even when the sun had reached the hour of twilight, she did not feel the heat upon her body, so intent was she on what she beheld.
