Verse 3.55.40

ततोऽनुभवतीन्द्वाभं यौवनं मदनोन्मुखम् ।
ततो जरां पद्ममुखे हिमाशनिमिव च्युतम् ॥ ४० ॥

tato'nubhavatīndvābhaṃ yauvanaṃ madanonmukham |
tato jarāṃ padmamukhe himāśanimiva cyutam || 40 ||

It then perceives the moonlike beauty of youthful bloom, and its amorous disposition coming upon itself; and feels afterwards the effects of hoary old age, defacing its lotus-like face, as the sleets of snow, shatter and shrivel the lotus leaflets.
