The Buddha-Carita or The Life of Buddha by Ven. Aśvaghoṣa

Buddha-carita, or The Life of Buddha - 67
sa hi kācanaparvatāvadāto hdayonmādakaro varāganānām |
śravanāgavilocanātmabhāvān vacanasparśavapurguṇairjahāra || 5.42
42. Bright like a golden mountain, and bewitching the hearts of the noble women, he
enraptured their ears, limbs, eyes, and souls by his speech, touch, form, and qualities.
vigate divase tato vimāna vapuṣā sūrya iva pradīpyamānaḥ |
timira vijighāsurātmabhāsā ravirudyanniva merumāruroha || 5.43
43. When the day was gone, then, shining with his form like the sun, he ascended the
palace, as the rising sun ascends Mount Meru, desiring to dispel the darkness by his
own splendour.
kanakojjvaladīptadīpavkṣa varakālāgurudhūpapūrṇagarbham |
adhiruhya sa vajrabhakticitra pravara kācanamāsana siṣeve || 5.44
44. Having ascended, he repaired to a special golden seat decorated with
embellishments of diamond, with tall lighted candlesticks ablaze with gold, and its
interior filled with the incense of black aloe-wood.
tata uttamamuttamāśca nāryo niśi tūryairupatasthuridrakalpam |
himavacchirasīva cadragaure draviṇedrātmajamapsarogaṇaughāḥ || 5.45
45. Then the noblest of women waited during the night on the noblest of men who was
like Indra himself, with a concert of musical instruments, as the crowds of heavenly
nymphs wait on the son of the Lord of wealth 1 upon the summit of Himavat, white
like the moon.
paramairapi divyatūryakalpaiḥ sa tu tairnaiva rati yayau na harṣam |
paramārthasukhāya tasya sādhorabhiniścikramiṣā yato na reme || 5.46
46. But even by those beautiful instruments like heavenly music he was not moved to
pleasure or delight; since his desire to go forth from his home to seek the bliss of the
highest end was never lulled.
atha tatra suraistapovariṣṭhairakaniṣṭhairvyavasāyamasya buddhvā |
yugapatpramadājanasya nidrā vihitāsīdviktāśca gātraceṣṭāḥ || 5.47
47. Then by the power of the heavenly beings most excellent in self-mortification, the
Akaniṣṭhas, who knew the purpose of his heart, deep sleep was suddenly thrown on
that company of women and their limbs and gestures became distorted. 2
