Shloka 65
सिन्धुवारांस्तथोदारान् मन्मथस्येव तोमरान् । सुवर्णवर्णकुसुमान् गिरीणां शिखरेषु च,पर्वतवोंके शिखरोंपर अधिकाधिक संख्यामें सुनहरे कुसुमोंसे सुशोभित सुन्दर शेफालिकाके- “पौधे दिखायी देते थे, जो कामदेवके तोमर नामक बाण-से प्रतीत होते थे
sindhuvārāṁs tathodārān manmathasyeva tomarān | suvarṇavarṇakusumān girīṇāṁ śikhareṣu ca ||
毗湿摩耶那说道：“又见高贵繁茂的辛度婆罗（sindhuvāra，亦名舍婆利迦）丛木，其金色花朵装点诸山之巅——仿佛爱神摩摩他（Manmatha）的长枪（tomara）一般。”此颂更浓其审美之境：自然似也参与撩动欲念与惊奇；与流放之艰相对照，并提醒听者——感官之境能牵引人心，或使之振起，或使之不宁。

Educational Q&A
The verse implicitly illustrates how sensory beauty shapes the mind: even in exile, the forest’s splendor can awaken powerful emotions (here symbolized by Manmatha). It suggests attentiveness to how perception can influence desire and inner steadiness.
The narrator describes the landscape: sindhuvāra/shephālika plants with golden blossoms are seen on mountain summits, poetically compared to Manmatha’s spears, intensifying the scene’s vivid, evocative atmosphere.
