Shloka 14
मण्डूकनेत्रां स््वाकारां पीनोधसमनिन्दिताम् | सुवालर्धि शड्कुकर्णा चारुशुज्रां मनोरमाम्,उसकी आँखें मेढक-जैसी थीं। आकृति बड़ी सुन्दर थी। चारों थन मोटे और फैले हुए थे। वह सर्वथा प्रशंसाके योग्य थी। सुन्दर पूँछ, नुकीले कान और मनोहर सींगोंके कारण वह बड़ी मनोरम जान पड़ती थी

Wika ng Gandharva: “Ang kaniyang mga mata’y gaya ng sa palaka, subalit ang anyo niya’y maayos ang sukat at maganda. Ang kaniyang suso’y hitik at malapad, at siya’y walang kapintasan sa lahat ng paraan. Sa magandang buntot, matutulis na tainga, at kaibig-ibig na mga sungay, siya’y lubhang kaakit-akit.”
