2.246

upamayā, yathā-
api turaga-samīpād utpatantaṃ mayūraṃ
na sa rucira-kalāpaṃ bāṇa-lakṣyīcakāra |
sapadi gata-manaskaś citra-mālyānukīrṇe
rati-vigalita-bandhe keśa-pāśe priyāyāḥ ||

By comparison, as in:
Though the peacock flew up close by his horse,
he did not make its lovely plumage the target for his arrow;
for in an instant his mind wandered to the mass of his beloved's hair,
strewn with diverse garlands, loosened in lovemaking.
