English Translation

दीर्घया with a long, एकया even with a single, वेण्या braid of hair, अयत्नतः carelessly, शोभमानाम् beautifullooking, नीरदापाये at the end of rain, नीलया with dark, वनराज्या with a row of trees, महीमिव like the land.

English Commentary

She was lovely even with a single braid of unkempt hair like the earth with a single row of dark trees covering its surface at the end of the rainy season.
