2.9
dveṣo yatrānya-kāryeṣu tad-ekāgraṃ ca mānasam
śvāsair manorathaiś cāpi ceṣṭās tāḥ smaraṇaṃ yathā //
induṃ nindati padma-kandala-dalais talpaṃ na vā manyate karpūraṃ kirati prayāti na ratiṃ prāleya-dhārā-gṛhe
śvāsaiḥ kevalam eva khedita-tanur dhyāyaty asau bālikā yat tat ko'pi yuvā dhruvaṃ smara-suhṛc-cetasy amuṣāḥ sthitaḥ //
Where there is aversion to other tasks and the mind is fixed on that alone, / and actions consist of sighs and daydreams, that is recollection (smaraṇa), as in: // 'She blames the moon, nor does she care for the couch made of lotus sprouts and petals, / she scatters camphor, finds no pleasure in the house with frost-cooling showers; / having her body tormented solely by sighs, this young girl meditates on that person: / surely some youth, a friend of Kāmadeva, has taken his stand in her heart.'
