Translation

At the time when the bees which are drunk by the blooming jasmines, carry the shine of the Priyangva creepers which have grown well; in the region filled with Mandaara trees where the cool icy winds blow; if the deer-eyed girl expert in removing the cold of the snow, does not embrace the neck at least for a second, for such youths – the long hours of the night pass equal to the life in hell (Yama’s world). ॥ 98 ॥
