Lustful Ladies in the Ritu Samhaaram of Kalidasa

5-8
Tight fitting bras
hold up the women’s breasts.
Their colorful silken scarves,
wrapped around shoulders
cover the cleavage of breasts.
With flowers tucked in their hair,
they are delightful to see –
they are the flowers of winter.

5-9
Young ladies indulge in rubbing
vermilion creams on their breasts,
and lust for young men sleeping with them,
pressing their breasts against their chests.
Thus they warding off the winter cold,
they leave ochre-marks on their chests.

5-10
These happy women past adolescence
Desire love making to men,
Sharing with their lovers
exotic liquors in the evenings,
with petals of lotus
for fragrance stirred in them.
Anticipating love making later,
They sigh in pleasure.
