lower garment.
My mind is already restless, and by playing with a ball, moving it all about with your lotuslike palm, you are also agitating my eyes. Your curling black hair is now scattered, but you are not attentive to arranging it. Are you not going to arrange it? Like a man attached to women, the most cunning wind is trying to take off your lower garment. Are you not mindful of it?

The girl Pūrvacitti was playing with a ball in her hand, and the ball seemed like nothing but another lotus flower captured by her lotuslike palm. Because of her movements, her hair was loose, and the belt holding her cloth was giving way, as if the cunning wind were trying to make her naked. Yet she paid no attention to arranging her hair or fixing her dress. As Āgnīdhra tried to see the girl’s naked beauty, his eyes were very agitated by her movements.

Translation
The ball struck by your lotus hand which moves in all directions agitates my eyes, though I am already bewildered. Are you not aware that your hair has become unbound and that the crafty, lusty wind has taken off your garment. Seeing her play with a ball, he speaks. The ball disturbs my eyes, and I have already become bewildered in heart. You are not aware that your hair has become unbound. The crafty wind has blown away your garment. Are you not aware of this? In this way you are absorbed in playing with the ball.
