Hospitality at Gauramukha’s Hermitage and the Power of the Wish-Fulfilling Jewel
ततस्तु रात्रिः समपद्यताधुना शरच्छशाङ्कोज्ज्वलऋक्षमण्डिता । करोति रागं स च रोहिणीधवः सुसङ्गतं सौम्यगुणेषु तापि च ॥ ११.५० ॥
tatastu rātriḥ samapadyatādhunā śaracchaśāṅkojjvalaṛkṣamaṇḍitā | karoti rāgaṃ sa ca rohiṇīdhavaḥ susaṅgataṃ saumyaguṇeṣu tāpi ca || 11.50 ||
फिर रात हो गई। चाँदनी रात थी और तारे चमक रहे थे। चाँद निकला और रोहिणी के साथ प्यार भरा मन ले कर आया। थोड़ी गर्मी भी महसूस हो रही थी।
