1.48

uparodhāt tathā snehāt sānurāgo'pi nāyakaḥ
ceṣṭate tāṃ prati prāyaḥ kalāsu kuśalo yathā //
tvad-akṣiṇī kuvalaya-buddhir atyalī ruṇadhmy ahaṃ tad iti nimīya locane
tato bhṛśaṃ pulakita-gaṇḍa-maṇḍalāṃ yuvā parāṃ nibhṛtam acumbad aṅganām //

Out of obligation as well as affection, the hero, even if in love [with another], / usually acts toward her as one skilled in the arts:
'The bee's idea of your eyes being blue lotuses is quite false; / let me cover them!'—saying this, he closed her eyes, / and then, secretly, the youth kissed another woman whose cheeks were intensely bristling with delight.
