haṃsakudendusaṃkāśāṃ hāragokṣīrapāṇḍurām | nānāratnavicitrāṅgīṃ svarṇaśṛṅgāṃ manoramām
Je vis une vache, rayonnante comme un cygne, une fleur de jasmin et la lune ; pâle comme une guirlande et comme le lait. Ses membres étaient parés de toutes sortes de joyaux et ses cornes étaient d'or, d'un charme exquis à contempler.
