काचित् कन्यासदृशा अपरा पुन नववधू व शोभन्ति ।
वरमाल्यदामशिरजा जाम्बुनदज्वलितकुण्डलमुखीयो ।
हरिपिंगलसदृशनयना शोभन्ति ता सरिपतितीरे ॥ १३ ॥
kācit kanyāsadṛśā aparā puna navavadhū va śobhanti |

Some looked like maidens, others were radiant like newly wedded brides. On their hair were fine garlands and bands. (13)
