Author's Comment
Kalidasa was a renowned poet, and writer, considered as the greatest dramatist in the Sanskrit language. He is often called the Shakespeare of Sanskrit literature.
The poetry that Varaha tries to quote (rather badly), is taken from his play "Abghyana Shakuntalam"- One of his better known plays.
Dushyanta (Hero) hides behind a tree and listens to what Shakuntala (Heroine) and her friends are talking-which tends towards boys and body parts.
Shakuntala complains to her friend priyamvadha that her cloths are on too tight. Priyamvadha suggests that perhaps the fault are not with her cloths but with her breasts that could put any marvel heroine to shame. Or something contemporary to that effect! 
Any way our peeping tom Hero, agrees with Primyavadha's deduction, and elaborates by means of similes. Varaha, simply tries to repeat what Dushyanta had to say in the play.

Varaha climbs the pink cloud!
When I first created Varaha, I had based him on Sharvilaka - the crazy thief in Mrichakathita, a play by King Shudraka. The one who contemplates what kind of hole he has to make on the wall so that he can successfully rob a house. Very little of Sharvilaka remains in Varaha, who seems to have come a long way on his own. Varaha at times especially under pressure, might revert back to Sharvilaka though!
