Translation

In this essence less world-existence, how do the taintless men of noble qualities make their minds brave enough to patiently wait at the door of the wicked king? (It will not be possible) but for the young girls (beloveds) with lotus eyes, who hold the ‘collection of the rays of the rising moon’ emanating from their bodies; who are adorned by resounding silk garments; and the waist bending by the weight of the huge breasts! ॥ 31 ॥
