[...] With a gentle smile playing in her face she appeared very beautiful. Her plaited hair was thickly grown and looked beautiful. Decorative lines over her body were exquisite. She had the Tilaka with musk and saffron (sindūrabindu). Gemset necklace shone over her chest. Bracelets and bangles of gems and jewels shone brilliantly. [...]”.
