अनिष्ट-श्रुत्या, यथा —
आकलय्य परिवर्तित-गोत्रां
केशवस्य गिरम् अर्पित-शल्याम् ।
बिद्ध-धीर् अधिक-निर्निमिषाक्षी-
लक्षणा क्षणम् अवर्तत तूष्णीम् ॥२.४.१०९॥

aniṣṭa-śrutyā, yathā —
ākalayya parivartita-gotrāṃ

lakṣaṇā kṣaṇam avartata tūṣṇīm
||2.4.109||

English translation

Jāḍyam from hearing what is undesirable:
“Hearing Keśava call out someone else’s name, the heart of Lakṣmaṇā, one of the leaders of the gopīs, was pained. Her eyes stopped blinking and she did
not utter a word.”
