(81) We continuously turn to 惭补丑别艣颈迟峁涒�檚 [female] half, which is as radiant as a big sapphire, is bent down under the burden of [her] breast; whose beauty is shared by multitudes of shiningly beautiful ornaments; which is the sole root of the universe; [and] which is constantly sought after in the Upanis蹋ads鈥�.
