अधमो लक्षणज्ञः स्यान् मध्यमो लक्ष्यमाचरेत्।
लक्ष्यलक्षणसंयुक्त उत्तमः परिकीर्तितः॥

अधरः किसलयरागः कोमलविटपानुकारिणौ बाहू।
कुसुममिव लोभनीयं यौवनमङ्गेषु संनद्धम्॥

The lower lip is like a red shoot, arms like soft branches; youth is like an alluring flower spread across the limbs—an image of sensual beauty.

अधरः पद्मरागोऽयम् अनर्घः सव्रणोऽपि ते।
मुग्धे हस्तः किमर्थोऽयम् अपार्थ इह दीयते॥

Your lower lip is like a precious ruby even if wounded. Oh naïve girl! Why then is your hand here—what purpose does it serve? A playful romantic tone.
