"Her shoulders even, like the balance of golden scales; her chest open and full; her breasts like ivory, perfectly round and inclining to each other. Her arms ductile as a bow; her fingers long and pliant, and tapering like thorns of the forest. Her nails like pearls; her skin bright yellow; her waist formed like the _pátram_ when drawn from its sheath; her hips as the reversed _límas_ leaf.
"Like unto the _púdak_ flower when hanging down its head, was the shape of her leg; her foot flat with the ground; her gait gentle and majestic like that of the elephant. Thus beautiful in person, she was clothed with a _chíndi patóla_ of a green colour, fastened round the waist with a golden _lúlut_ or cestus: her outer garment being of the _méga mendúng (dark clouded)_ pattern. Her _kémban (upper garment)_ was of the pattern _jing'gomosi_, edged with lace of gold; on her finger she wore a ring, the production of the sea, and her ear-rings were of the pattern _nóto bróngto_.
"On the front of the ear-studs were displayed the beauties of the _segára múnchar_ pattern (_emeralds encircled by rubies and diamonds_), and she bound up her hair in the first fashion, fastening it with the _glúng (knot) bobokóran_, and decorating it with the green _chámpaca_ flower, and also with the _gámbir, meláti_, and _mínor_ flowers; and in the centre of it she fixed a golden pin, with a red jewel on the top, and a golden flower ornamented with emeralds. Her necklace was composed of seven kinds of precious stones, and most brilliant to behold; and she was highly perfumed, without it being possible to discover from whence the scent was produced.
"Her _jámang (tiara or head ornament)_ was of the fashion _sódo sáler_ and richly chased; her bracelets were of the pattern _glang-kána_, and suited the _jámang_. Thus was the beauty of her person heightened and adorned by the splendour of her dress."
To this we may add, from one of the popular versions of the work called _Jáya Langkárá_ the notions which the Javans have of the virtues, beauties, and dress, that should adorn a young man of family.
"In a youth of noble birth there are seven points which should strike the observer, and these are indispensable. In the first place, he should be of good descent; in the second, he should possess understanding; in the third, he should know how to conduct himself. In the fourth place, he recollects what he learns in the _sástras_; in the fifth, his views must be enlarged; in the sixth, he must be religious; in the seventh, he must exert the qualifications he possesses unhesitatingly. These are the seven points which must strike the immediate attention of the observer.
