11.27

yathā lalita-mādhave (7.7)-
audāsīnya-dhurā-parīta-hṛdayaḥ kāṭhinyam ālambatāṃ
kāmaṃ śyāmala-sundaro mayi sakhi svairī sahasraṃ samāḥ |
kintu bhrānti-bharād api kṣaṇam idaṃ tatra priyebhyaḥ priye
ceto janmani janmani praṇayitād āsyaṃ na me hāsyati //

As in the Lalitamādhava (7.7):
“Let that dark, handsome, independent [lover], his heart surrounded by the weight of indifference, assume hardness toward me, O friend, for a thousand years if he wishes!
Yet even from an excess of illusion, not for a moment in birth after birth
will this heart of mine abandon its loving countenance toward him who is dearer than the dear.”
