रसं सुवर्ण सीहो च समा शुक्ला च पंचमा ।
समा प्रभूता ब्रह्मा च नीला गोपक्ष्म ते दश ॥ ८६ ॥
rasaṃ suvarṇa sīho ca samā śuklā ca paṃcamā |
samā prabhūtā brahmā ca nīlā gopakṣma te daśa || 86 ||
He has an exquisite sense of taste. His skin is the colour of gold. He has the bust of a lion. He has regular teeth. His teeth are perfectly white. His bust is consistently rounded. His tongue is long and slender. His voice is like that of Brahma. His eyes are blue. His eyelashes are like a cow’s. (86)
