कुइ्कुमपझ्ककलड्कितदेहा गौरपयोधरकंपितहारानूपुरहंसरणत्पद्मा कं न वशीकुरुते भुवि रामा ॥९॥

kuikumapajhkakalaḍkitadehā gaurapayodharakaṃpitahārānūpurahaṃsaraṇatpadmā kaṃ na vaśīkurute bhuvi rāmā ||9||

Translation

Her body tainted by the paste (slush) of red saffron; her pearl garland trembling on her fair-hued breasts; the anklets tied around her lotus feet tinkling like the song sung by the swan; who is not attracted by the pretty woman on this earth?! ॥ 9 ॥
