फणिका अनुगता व रक्तसूत्रं दशशतरस्मिसगोत्र तं प्रियं मे ॥ ५ ॥
yaṃ ca kanakavarṇaṃ paśyamānā paramaprītaṃ mano anujanenti |
phaṇikā anugatā va raktasūtraṃ daśaśatarasmisagotra taṃ priyaṃ me || 5 ||
Glad am 1, O kinsman of the sun, that those who saw thy golden beauty felt perfect joy of heart, like that of snakes when they follow a crimson thread. (5)
