VR 5.27.1 वंशस्थम्
तथागतां तां व्यथितामनिन्दितां; व्यपेतहर्षां परिदीनमानसाम् । शुभां निमित्तानि शुभानि भेजिरे; नरं श्रिया जुष्टमिवोपजीविनः ॥
tathāgatāṃ tāṃ vyathitāmaninditāṃ; vyapetaharṣāṃ paridīnamānasām | śubhāṃ nimittāni śubhāni bhejire; naraṃ śriyā juṣṭamivopajīvinaḥ ||

And her countenance, having lips red as Bimba fruits, beautiful eyes, eye-brows extending to ears, curling eye-lashes and white teeth, again appeared graceful like to the Moon released from the full grasp of Rahu.
