nisargakṣīṇasya stanataṭabhareṇa klamajuṣo
namanmūrternārītilaka śanakaistruṭyata iva
ciraṃ te madhyasya truṭitataṭinītīrataruṇā
samāvasthāsthemno bhavatu kuśalaṃ śailatanaye
—
O daughter of the mountain,
best among women
Your waist, already
slender by nature
stressed by the weight
of your breasts
looks bent as if
about to crack
steady as a tree
on an eroding riverbank
May your waist
always be well
