Artham suptva nis`ayaha sarabhasa surataayasa sanna s`lathaangaa
Having spent half of his night in hard battle of play of love and having his body organs fully worn out
Proodbhuutaasahya trishn`oo madhu mada niratoo harmya prisht`hee viviktee

Sambhooga klaantaa kaantaa sithila bhuja lataa varjitam karkariitoo
his sex play exhausted wife, with her worn-out shoulders and elbows (the poet compares them to "creepers"
