Kalidasa's Ritusmaharin In Sanskrit, Chapter 5, Verse 1 In English Translation Poem by Ravi Kopra

Dear reader
Listen to the season of winter,
you will find sexy women here
with beautiful heart-warming thighs,
tons of rice, cobs and sugar cane,
and the geese in fields screeching by.
It's a season of passion that gladdens
lusty women's hearts. (5-1)
