Valmiki Ramayana — Uttara Kanda

Verse 26.14

नीलं सतोयमेघाभं वस्त्रं समवगुण्ठिता। यस्या वक्त्रं शशिनिभं भ्रुवौ चापनिभे शुभे॥ ऊरू करिकराकारौ करौ पल्लवकोमलौ। सैन्यमध्येन गच्छन्ती रावणेनोपलक्षिता॥

nīlaṃ satoyameghābhaṃ vastraṃ samavaguṇṭhitā| yasyā vaktraṃ śaśinibhaṃ bhruvau cāpanibhe śubhe|| ūrū karikarākārau karau pallavakomalau| sainyamadhyena gacchantī rāvaṇenopalakṣitā||

English Meaning

Rambhā appeared like the second tree, in grace and beauty, natural and artificial. She wore green clothes resembling the clouds; her face was like the moon, eye brows like the excellent bows, thighs like the trunks of elephants and palms soft as leaves. She was seen by Rāvana as proceeding in the midst of soldiers.
