Saṃskṛta-nāṭaka - Harṣavardhana (Part 8) - Nāgānanda
Moonrise
किं पद्मस्य रुचिं न हन्ति नयनानन्दं विधत्ते न वा
वृद्धिं वा झषकेतनस्य कुरुते नालोकमात्रेण किम् ।
वक्त्रेन्दौ तव सत्ययं यदपरः शीतांशुरभ्युद्गतो
दर्पः स्यादमृतेन चेदिह तदप्यस्त्येव बिम्बाधरे ॥ (3.13)
Doesn’t your moon-face eclipse the beauty of the lotus? Doesn’t it make the flag-bannered Manmatha to swell, just by its appearance? Now, this other moon has risen. If there is pride on account of the presence of nectar (in the real moon), that too is present in your lower lip, which is like a bimba fruit.
