सा किंचिद् एव कालं तस्मिं हिमकुमुदपुण्डरीकनिभे ।
शयने प्रशमदमरता तूष्णींभावेन क्षेपयति ॥ ३७ ॥
sā kiṃcid eva kālaṃ tasmiṃ himakumudapuṇḍarīkanibhe |
śayane praśamadamaratā tūṣṇīṃbhāvena kṣepayati || 37 ||
And then on that bed of the colour of the snow-white lotus she whiled away the time in silence, contentedly calm and self-controlled. (37)
