S∂tåís beauty defies all description, Mother of the universe that She is and an
embodiment of charm and excellence. All comparisons seem to me too poor; for they
have affinity with the limbs of mortal women. Proceeding to depict S∂tå with the help of
those very similes why should one earn the title of an unworthy poet and court ill-repute?
Should S∂tå be likened to any woman of this material creation, where in this world shall
one come across such a lovely damsel? The goddess of speech (Sarasvat∂), for
instance, is a chatterer; while Bhavån∂ possesses only half a body (the other half being
represented by her lord, ›iva). And Rati (Loveís consort) is extremely distressed by the
thought of her husband being without a form. And it is quite out of the question to
compare Videhaís Daughter with Ramå, who has poison and spirituous liquor for her
dear brothers. Supposing there was an ocean of nectar in the form of loveliness and the
tortoise serving as a base for churning it was an embodiment of consummate beauty,
and if splendour itself were to take the form of a cord, the erotic sentiment should
crystallize and assume the shape of Mount Mandara and the god of love himself were
to churn this ocean with his own handsó (1ó4)

And if from such churning were to be born a Lakm∂, who was the source of
all loveliness and joy, the poet would even then hesitatingly declare her as analogous
to S∂tå. (247)
