This is not well said. It is against the conventions of the world. Where you with eyes like the petals of a lotus [i.e., kamalapatrākṣī]? Where this three-eyed creature—Śiva? You are moon-faced while Śiva is five-faced. On your head the divine plaited hair shines with glossy splendour like a serpent. But Śiva has only the matted hair to boast of? [...]”.
