2.11

yasmin ramyam aramyaṃ vā na ca harṣāya jāyate
pradveṣaḥ prāṇitavye'pi sa udvegaḥ smṛto yathā //
agny-ākāraṃ kalayasi puraś cakravākīva candraṃ baddhotkampaṃ śiśira-marutā dahyase padminīva
prāṇān dhatse katham api balād gacchataḥ śalya-tulyāṃstat kenāsau sutanu jantio mānmathas te vikāraḥ //

In which neither the charming nor the uncharming produces joy, / and there is disgust even with living, that is remembered as agitation (udvega), as in: // 'Like a cakravākī bird, you perceive the moon in front of you as having the form of fire; / seized by trembling, you are burnt by the cool breeze like a lotus; / you hold with difficulty your life-breaths that are departing by force like darts— / by whom, O fair-bodied woman, was this malady of Kāmadeva produced in you?'
