11.38

yathā-
mudrāṃ gāḍhatarāṃ vidhāya nihite dūrīkuruṣvāṅgade
granthiṃ nyasya kaṭhoram arpita-matiḥ kaṇṭhān maṇiṃ bhraṃśaya |
mugdhe kṛṣṇa-bhujaṅga-dṛṣṭi-kalayā durvārayā dūṣite
ratnālaṅkaraṇe manāg api manas tṛṣṇāṃ na puṣṇāti me //

As:
“Remove the armlets that were put on after fastening the clasp very tightly;
making up your mind, drop the jewel from the neck after untying the stiff knot!
O simple girl, tainted by the irresistible glance of that black serpent,
my mind does not foster even the slightest longing for the jeweled ornament.”
