सा दानिं दक्षिणेन पार्श्वेन परिन्यासि शरीरवरं ।
कुसुमलता व द्रुमवरं शयनं परिवेल्लियाशयिता ॥ ३८ ॥
sā dāniṃ dakṣiṇena pārśvena parinyāsi śarīravaraṃ |
kusumalatā va drumavaraṃ śayanaṃ parivelliyāśayitā || 38 ||
She laid down her beautiful body on its right side, and she lay clinging to the bed as the flowering creeper clings to a tree. (38)
