अनन्याकृतिमन्योऽसौ विधिर्येनेति निर्मिता । ततः सात्त्विकभावानां तत्क्षणादस्मि गोचरम्
ananyākṛtimanyo'sau vidhiryeneti nirmitā | tataḥ sāttvikabhāvānāṃ tatkṣaṇādasmi gocaram
मी मनात म्हणालो—“हिचे रूप अद्वितीय आहे; हिला तर जणू दुसऱ्याच विधात्याने घडविले असावे.” त्या क्षणापासूनच मी सात्त्विक भावांच्या—कोमलता व अंतःस्पंदनाच्या—आवाक्यात आलो.

Listener: vipra
Scene: The observer, struck by the maiden’s uniqueness, imagines a different Creator; his face shows astonishment and tender inward stirring (sāttvika signs).
Even refined emotions (sattva) can be stirred by worldly beauty; dharma requires that such feelings be guided toward right action.
