दृष्टवैव चारुवदने चन्द्रात् कान्ततरं तव । वदन पद्मपत्राक्ष॑ मां मथ्नातीव मन्मथ:,'सुमुखि! जबसे मैंने चन्द्रमासे भी बढ़कर कमनीय एवं कमलदलके समान विशाल नेत्रोंसे युक्त तुम्हारे मुखका दर्शन किया है, तभीसे मनन््मथ मुझे मथ-सा रहा है”
Transliteration

Translation
The Gandharva said: “O lovely-faced one—your face is more radiant than the moon. Since the very moment I beheld it, with eyes wide like lotus-petals, Kāma (the god of desire) has been churning my heart as if with a churning-rod.”
