2.7

vyavasāyo bhaved yatra bāḍhaṃ tat-saṅgamāśayā
saṅkalpākula-cittatvāt so'bhilāṣaḥ smṛto yathā //
praviśati yathā gehe'kasmād bahiś ca viceṣṭate vadati ca yathā sakhyā sārdhaṃ sahāsam ihotsukā
dayita-vadanāloke mandaṃ yathā ca calaty asau mṛga-dṛśi tathaitasyāṃ manye smareṇa kṛtaṃ padam //

Where there is intense resolve through the hope of union with that person, / because the mind is troubled by resolve, that is remembered as longing (abhilāṣa), as in: // 'As she suddenly enters the house and moves outside, / and as she speaks with her friend with a smile here in longing, / and as she walks slowly looking toward her lover's face, / I think Kāmadeva has stepped into this fawn-eyed maiden.'
