करोनास्पर्शचिन्तया rolls off the tongue like a fine chablis! Nabokov and maybe even Bana would be proud...Thanks Madhav!



A distraction from the Coronavirus

स्वयंवरे राजकन्या वरान् दीना प्रतीक्षते ।

न कोऽपि वर आयाति करोनास्पर्शचिन्तया ।।

At the ceremony of choosing the groom, the distressed princess is waiting for grooms, but no one shows up due to worries over the Coronavirus.
