तस्या रूपं वयः कांतिर्वर्णितुं नैव शक्यते । नालापं कुरुते बाला सा केनापि समं विभौ
tasyā rūpaṃ vayaḥ kāṃtirvarṇituṃ naiva śakyate | nālāpaṃ kurute bālā sā kenāpi samaṃ vibhau
彼女の美貌と若さと光輝は、まことに言い尽くせない。主よ、その乙女は誰とも対等の者として語らぬ。

Scene: A luminous maiden-ascetic with restrained demeanor, standing apart in a mountain grove; her radiance outshines surroundings, while she remains silent and unapproachable.
True spiritual dignity is shown through restraint—radiance is paired with modest conduct and guarded speech.
The setting belongs to Arbuda (Mount Abu) within the Arbuda Khaṇḍa, a sacred mountain landscape in the Skanda Purāṇa’s Prabhāsa Khaṇḍa.
None in this verse; it is descriptive, emphasizing character and demeanor.
