शिरोघटेन शुभ्रेण मसृणेनेन्दुवर्चसा ।
विडम्बयच्च कर्पूराप्लुतलिङ्गशिरःश्रियम् ॥ ७ ॥

śiroghaṭena śubhreṇa masṛṇenenduvarcasā |
viḍambayacca karpūrāplutaliṅgaśiraḥśriyam || 7 ||

The crown of the head had become as white and smooth (by its baldness or grey hairs), as the phallus of Siva anointed with camphor, at the Indu-varcha ceremony in honor of the moon.
