the Song s of Jayade'va. 207' 



bracelets, on her ankles the beamy rings, and round her waift the zone of 

 bells, that founded with ravifliing melody. 



Whatever is delightful in the modes of mufick, whatever is divine in 

 meditations on Vishnu, whatever is exquifite in the fweet art of love, 

 whatever is graceful in the fine ftrains of poetry, all that let the happy and 

 wife learn from the fongs of Jayade'va, whofe foul is united with the 

 footof Na'ra'yan. May thatHERi be your fupport, who expanded him- 

 felf into an infinity of bright forms, when, eager to gaze with myriads of 

 eyes on the daughter of the ocean, he difplayed his great character of the 

 all-pervading deity, by the multiplied reflexions of his divine perfon in the 

 numberkfs gems on the many heads of the king of ferpents, whom he chofe 

 for his couch ; that Heri, who, removing the lucid veil from the bofom of 

 Pedma', and fixing his eyes on the delicious buds, that grew on it, diver- 

 ted her attention by declaring that, when (he had chofen him as her bride- 

 groom near the fea of milk, the difappointed hufband of Parvati drank 

 in defpair the venom, which dyed his neck azure ! 



THE END.
