urasi murārer upahitahāre ghana iva taralabalāke,

could excite the passion of even the Lord is no
wonder, as Kālidāsa would describe the beauty of
Pārvatī, created to perfection in every limb and
putting to shame even Rati, as reassuring Cupid of
his success over even the peak of the self-control-
led, Lord Siva himself: tām vikshya sarvavayavān-
avadyām rater api hripadam ādadhānām, jitendriye
sulini pushpaketuḥ svakarmasiddhim punar āśaśa-

bhiḥ vikshyamanah, Meghaduta, 1, 14, where
Kalidāsa compares the large laden cloud to the
peak of a mountain which almost appears to be
pushed along by the wind.
