Verse 52

Tap any word for its meaning.

। ॥

In plain words

O Kāmākṣī, the sapphire is only a stone, the blue lily wilts by day, and a cloud is dark only now and then. So there is nothing to compare with the beauty of your sidelong glance.

Word for word

A stone merely the sapphire; by days wilting the lily shows; occasional the cloud-darkness; hence your, Kāmākṣī, empty the comparison for the eye-corner-beauty.
