Verse 30

³⁰Then in a mirror she saw herself: garlanded, in unstained clothes, without a speck on her, the rites of blessing done for her, honoured by the girls, ³¹bathed, her head washed, adorned with every ornament, a medallion at her throat, bracelets on her arms, anklets of gold that sang as she moved, ³²adorned about the hips with a golden girdle set with many jewels, and with a costly necklace, and with a golden charm. ³³Her teeth were fine, her brows fine, the corners of her eyes smooth and moist, and her face was bright with dark curls that rivalled the lotus bud. ³⁴The moment she remembered the bull of the sages, her husband and her dear one, she was there with the women, where that lord of creatures was.

³⁵Seeing herself then before her husband, ringed by a thousand women, she took in what his yoga could do, and doubt came over her. ³⁶He saw her with the dirt bathed away, shining as she never had, wearing her own true form again, her lovely breasts covered, ³⁷waited on by a thousand women of the sky, finely dressed. Feeling rose in him, and he had her climb into the flying palace, killer of enemies.
