5.3

tathā coktam-
neṣṭā yad aṅgini rase kavibhir paroḍhā
tad gokulāmbujadṛśāṃ kulam antarena |
āśāṃsayā rasavidher avatāritānāṃ
kaṃsāriṇā rasikamaṇḍalaśekhareṇa //

And so it is said:
“That poets do not desire another's wife in the principal aesthetic sentiment
applies except for the host of lotus-eyed maidens of Gokula,
who were brought down by the enemy of Kaṃsa, the crown jewel among connoisseurs of rasa,
out of a desire for the performance of rasa.”
