This transcendental favor was never enjoyed by the goddess of fortune or other consorts in the spiritual world.
Nor was such a thing ever imagined by the most beautiful girls from the heavenly planets, whose bodily luster and aroma exactly resemble a lotus flower.
And what to speak of worldly women who are very beautiful according to the material estimation?’ ”
