Ancient Indian fascination with mammary glands continues:
"Who is not captivated by a woman's breasts
That, like a good poem,
Are a pleasure to grasp,
Are weighty, compact, and nicely ornamented."

"Since love is fickle
I dance to my lover's tune.
A creeper twines itself
Around the unbending tree."

"Why do you groan as you carry them -
Two heaps piled with your rivals' jealousy
Two vessels brimful of beauty,
Two elephant lobes stuffed with love?
In their hearts men by the hundred
Are sharing the burden
Of your breasts." [260]

Yes. I think 'ornamented' implies jewelry with which women adorned their bosoms.
