Soundarya Lahari--Verse 63

[Guest guest]

Smita-jyotsnA-jAlam tava vadana-candrasya pibatAm

cakorAnAm AsId ati-rasatayA caNcu-jadimA;

atas te sItAmsor amrta-laharIm Amla-rucayah

pibanti svacchandam nisi nisi bhrsam kAnjika-dhiyA

 

 

There was satiety in the beaks [reached], owing to excessive

sweetness, by the Cakora birds drinking the moonlight-like smile on

Thy moon-like face. Hence, eager to taste something sour they freely

drink every night, ardently, the nectar flowing from the Moon, in the

belief that it is gruel.

 

Something sour- by the way of change. Gruel-which resembles nectar in

appearance.
