लोला लोचनलोभेन सा मृगी रसशालिनी ।
बभूव वासनामोहश्चाहो दुःखाय जन्तुषु ॥ १७ ॥

lolā locanalobhena sā mṛgī rasaśālinī |
babhūva vāsanāmohaścāho duḥkhāya jantuṣu || 17 ||

But as the celestial dame prized the tremulous eye sight of the timorous deer, above her heavenly form and station; she was soon metamorphosed to an antelope in the woods, and destined to graze as a miserable beast for her foolish choice.
