Translation

Pouring rains prevent the beloveds from moving out of the mansion. Because of the shivering cold, the beautiful young girl with elongated eyes embraces tightly. Cold sweat covers the limbs and winds blow removing the extreme tiredness. The dark days of the monsoon turn out to be the lucky days for the blessed ones! ॥ 95 ॥
