veṣeṇa priyāparādha-nirbhedād, yathā-  
ālepaḥ kriyatām ayaṃ druta-gati-svedair ivārdraṃ vapus  
tan-mālyaṃ vyapanīyatāṃ ravi-kara-sparśair ivāmarditam |  
ity uktāny atidhīrayā dayitayā smerānanāmbhoruhaṃ  
cāṭūktāni bhavanti hanta kṛtināṃ modāya bhogād api ||

> As for the disclosure of the beloved’s offense through appearance, for example: / “Let this ointment be applied, as if your body were damp with the perspiration of swift walking; / let that garland be removed, as if crushed by the touch of the sun's rays”— / such flattering words spoken by a very self-possessed beloved with a smiling lotus-face, / alas, bring fortunate men more pleasure than lovemaking itself!
