Verse 73

Tap any word for its meaning.

। ॥

In plain words

The whiteness of the night lilies is kindled only by the moon's light; moonlight itself comes about only when evening arrives; the full clarity of a fresh pearl is seen only after polishing. The brightness of Kāmākṣī's smile shines by its own nature.

Word for word

Whiteness of lily-beauties by the moon's light only is kindled; the moonlight-lustre too the evening-time having reached only comes about; clarity of a new pearl highest from polishing is seen; of Kāmākṣī of the smile-rays the brightness natural shines.
