Soundarya Lahari--Verse 82

[Guest guest]

KarIndrAnAm sundAh kanaka-kadalI-kAnda-patalIm

ubhAbhyAm UrubhyAm ubhayam api nirjitya bhavatI;

SuvrttAbhyAm patyuh pranati-kathinAbhyAm giri-sute

vijigye jAnubhyAm vibudha-kari-kumbha-dva-yam api.

 

O daughter of the Mountain! having surpassed alike the trunks of

lordly elephants and the clusters of golden plantain stumps with Thy

two thights, Thou hast likewise surpassed the pair of frontal globes

of the divine elephant with Thy pair of perfectly round knwws,

hardened by [constant] prostration before Thy Lord

 

The divine elephant-AirAvata, Indra's elephant. It is usual to

compare the thighs of a woman to the trunk of an elephant as well as

to the stump of a plantain tree.
