Verse 3.70.4

ततः कौशेयसूचित्वं पद्मकेसरसुन्दरी ।
प्राप सा शिखराकारा संकल्पाद्रिरिवाणुताम् ॥ ४ ॥

tataḥ kauśeyasūcitvaṃ padmakesarasundarī |
prāpa sā śikharākārā saṃkalpādririvāṇutām || 4 ||

She was thus reduced to the thinness of a needle, fit only to sew a silken robe; and became as lean as the filament of the lotus flower by her own desire; which can change a hill to a grain of sand.
