Buddha-carita, or The Life of Buddha - 49 madenāvarjitā nāma ta kāścittatra yoṣitaḥ | kaṭhinaiḥ paspśuḥ pīnaiḥ saghaṭṭairvalgubhiḥ stanaiḥ || 4.29 29. There some of them, urged by passion, pressed him with their full firm bosoms in gentle collisions. srastāsakomalālabamdubāhulatābalā | anta skhalita kācitktvaina sasvaje balāt || 4.30 30. Another violently embraced him after making a pretended stumble, — leaning on him with her shoulders drooping down, and with her gentle creeper-like arms dependent. kācit tāmrādharoṣṭhena mukhenāsavagadhinā | viniśaśvāsa karṇe ’sya rahasya śrūyatāmiti || 4.31 31. Another with her mouth smelling of spirituous liquor, her lower lip red like copper, whispered in his ear, ‘Let my secret be heard.’ kācidājñāpayatīva provācārdrānulepanā | iha bhakti kuruṣveti hasta saśliṣya lipsayā || 4.32 32. Another, all wet with unguents, as if giving him her command, clasped his hand eagerly and said, ‘Perform thy rites of adoration here.’ muhurmuhurmadavyājasrastanīlāśukāparā | ālakṣyarasanā reje sphuradvidyudiva kṣapā || 4.33 33. Another, with her blue garments continually slipping down in pretended intoxication, stood conspicuous with her tongue visible like the night with its lightning flashing. kāścitkanakakācībhirmukharābhiritastataḥ | babhramurdarśayatyo ’sya śroṇīstanvaśukāvtāḥ || 4.34 34. Others, with their golden zones tinkling, wandered about here and there, showing to him their hips veiled with thin cloth. cūtaśākhā kusumitā praghyānyā lalabire | suvarṇakalaśaprakhyān darśayatyaḥ payodharān || 4.35 35. Others leaned, holding a mango-bough in full flower, displaying their bosoms like golden jars. kācitpadmavanādetya sapadmā padmalocanā | padmavaktrasya pārśve ’sya padmaśrīriva tasthuṣī || 4.36 36. Another, coming from a lotus-bed, carrying lotuses and with eyes like lotuses, stood like the lotus-goddess Padmā, by the side of that lotus-faced prince.
Buddha-carita, or The Life of Buddha - 50 madhura gītamanvartha kācitsābhinaya jagau | ta svastha codayatīva vacito ’sītyavekṣitaiḥ || 4.37 37. Another sang a sweet song easily understood and with the proper gesticulations, rousing him, self-subdued though he was, by her glances, as saying, ‘O how thou art deluded!’ śubhena vadanenānyā bhrūkārmukavikarṣiṇā | prāvtyānucakārāsya ceṣṭita vīralīlayā || 4.38 38. Another, having armed herself 1 with her bright face, with its brow-bow drawn to its full, imitated his action, as playing the hero. pīnavalgustanī kācidvātāghūrṇitakuḍalā | uccairavajahāsaina samāpnotu bhavāniti || 4.39 39. Another, with beautiful full bosoms, and having her earrings waving in the wind, 2 laughed loudly at him, as if saying, ‘Catch me, sir, if you can!’ apayānta tathaivānyā babadhurmālyadāmabhiḥ | kāścitsākṣepamadhurairjaghurvacanākuśaiḥ || 4.40 40. Some, as he was going away, bound him with strings of garlands, — others punished him with words like an elephant-driver’s hook, gentle yet reproachful. pratiyogārthinī kācidghītvā cūtavallarīm | ida puṣpa tu kasyeti papraccha madaviklavā || 4.41 41. Another, wishing to argue with him, seizing a mango-spray, asked, all bewildered with passion, ‘This flower, whose is it?’ kācitpuruṣavatktvā gati sasthānameva ca | uvācaina jitaḥ strībhirjaya bhoḥ pthivīmimām || 4.42 42. Another, assuming a gait and attitude like those of a man, said to him, ‘Thou who art conquered by women, go and conquer this earth!’ atha loleksaṇā kācijjighratī nīlamutpalam | kicinmadakalairvākyairnpātmajamabhāṣata || 4.43 43. Then another with rolling eyes, smelling a blue lotus, thus addressed the prince with words slightly indistinct in her excitement, 1 Prāvtya. 2 I read vātāghūrṇita.
