9. This is the renowned Malaya mountain. Its trees are bent crooked by three powerful influences: by the moist, fiercely intense essence of abundant fragrance emanating from its beautiful sandalwood trees, Lavali creepers, and other vines; by the fervent dance of rising heat from cheeks that are situated near blazing, fiery eyes; and by the intense sensation generated by thumbs and fingers, much like the hot particles of passion (sweat or tears) that are felt by women.

9. זהו הר מַלָאיָה, שבו העצים כפופים מרוב משקל הניחוח העז של מטפסי ה-לַוָולִי ועצי הסנדל; הם נעים ברוח הרוטטת בלהט, כמו אצבעותיהן של נשים נסערות מחום התשוקה.
